While Organizations or Groups have similar functions, they are quite different. First, there are only two types of Members: Persons and Organizations. A Group is a collection of members regardless of whether the members are Persons or Organizations. Any Person or Organization can create and participate in a Group.
Members (Persons or Organizations) and Groups share the following features: - Photos - Documents - Forums
Members have the following features that Groups do not: - Classifieds - Blogs - Polls - Videos
Groups have the following features that Members do not: - Easily send email to multiple people at once - Forum viewed by only the members of the Group

If you are a company or other organization, we recommend creating a Organization type Membership. Your Organization can then create a Group. For example, your Organization might want a user group or a discussion group to be seen by your Group only.
