facebookfacebook-timeline
I notice some posts on my Facebook Timeline have options for "Show on Timeline" and "Allow on Timeline" but I couldn't find what is the difference between them.
The post that has these options was posted from the Run Keeper app. It might be only for app generated post, but I'm not sure.
There is an excellent article here that explains the new features of Groups in Facebook.
The main purpose was to integrate Facebook groups as main component of Facebook. To quote the article:
The primary idea behind Facebook groups is that it’s a form of ongoing collaboration product. If you want to have a simple way to communicate with your family members, you can use the groups product. Ultimately there are countless purposes for creating groups.
You are currently permitted to post up to 63,206 characters on Facebook in a status group or wall post. There is no difference.
In September, we increased the character limit on status updates to 5,000 characters. Today, we're announcing that you can now write posts with more than 60,000 characters. (1)
