On facebook what's the difference between groups and fan pages?

[BushraZ]

A group can be anything from " I grew up thinking that banana is a fruit, but now i got to know its a herb." to "I want to see who cries when I die." Groups can NOT post statuses and everyday updates and stuff. But yes they can post pictures and fans can post pics too.
Whereas, a page can be anything from "Taylor Swift" to "Peeking over the 3D glasses to see what the screen really looks like without them" it can be ANYTHING. usually people make pages for musicians, singers, actors, actresses, models, countries, cities, businesses, famous places etc. A page's owner can update statuses and keeps the users updated with all sorta news.etc I hope this helped u.
