Join if you want to be part of the LARGEST PHOTO MOSAIC ON THE PLANET

It is not often that ordinary everyday people have the opportunity to become part of a work of art but if Tanya Lazic's face-of-millions photo mosaic, planned to be 10m by 10m or three storeys high, offers everyone the opportunity to upload their image and become part of history. To date, nearly 44,000 photos have been collected, which means that less than half the members of its associate facebook group, have, in fact contributed their image. In the gallery you can view photos of various sections of the mosaic. On the discussion board, related topics such as 'WHERE SHOULD IT BE PLACED? WHY THERE?', 'where i am on the pircture?', 'What does this project mean to you?' and '*LATEST NEWS*' are tackled.

What's great about this group: Stay up to date on how this project progresses.

Update (22 April 2024)

According to the Guinness Book of records, the largest photo mosaic was created in Chongqing, China on 28 September 2022, with the help of 70 volunteers. It was 25,856.32 ft² and consists of 50,000 photographs. A previous record of 21645.96 ft² was set at a convention center in Tampa, Florida, on 11 October 2012 - and the photos (over 176,750) were crowd-sourced. I cannot find the associated Facebook group, though.

Creative Memories - Go Digital

Scrapbooking is popular with many who want to personalize their memories in a creative way. With digital technology, there are even more options available in this medium.

Share tips and ideas on the discussion board which includes threads such as 'Creating Page Templates', 'Deleting pages', 'Recipe book', 'organizing CM freebies', 'Storybook design', 'Card template', 'Blinkies??' and 'Sharing Live Templates.... to do or not to do....' The group also hosts challenges to create pages around specific themes.

What's great about this group: share your creativity.

Updated - This group has gone private. It also has a notice that it will not accept any new members - 11 April 2024. 

Animal Cognition, the Emotional and Intellectual Lives of Animals

Do animals exist solely to serve the needs of humanity? Many people believe not, and various sources quoted by group members refer to the intelligence and integrity of animals, stories that are often juxtaposed with those of the cruel and inhumane treatment of animals, particularly those that represent a commodity. Threads on the discussion board include 'The human "omnivore" myth', 'Animal Rights: Is there a line?', 'The Inner World of Farm Animals', 'Hunting: Actually Good for Animals?' and 'WORLD MANIFESTATION FOR THE ANIMAL RIGHTS 2009'. The information page lists book and documentary sources that deal with animal intelligence and there are also various links to other internet resources in wall posts.

What's great about this group: Learn more about the fascinating creatures that share the planet with us.

A word of caution: There are images on the gallery that may be considered disturbing to some.

Update (22 April 2024)

There is still a group with this name, they are still active with daily posts and have 9.5k members. Go here to visit or join. 

Psychology

Anyone who has been following my blog for a while, might be familiar with a few of my distinct preferences. Unusual images is one. Head games of some description is another. So, not much surprise then, that I would eventually gravitate towards a group named 'Psychology'. Threads on the discussion board include 'Everyone is Crazy', 'What are the most important rules in your life?', 'Suicide', 'Free choice.', 'Controlling The adolescent state', 'Commitment Phobia', 'Daydreaming and Fantasy', 'Why don't humans care?' and 'Theories About Personality'. 'Carl Jung's Red Book: Even the Greats have inner struggles and what we can learn from this.' makes a particularly interesting topic.

What's great about this group: psychology concerns us all, whether we like it or not.

Update (22 April 2024)

There are several groups with the name Psychology and while it is impossible to tell whether any of them is connected to this group, the largest public one (72,2k members) can be found here and the most active one (9.7k members) can be found here. 

International High IQ Society

If you are looking for intelligent conversation, in face, if you are looking for a place where your intelligence will be fully appreciated for what it is, then take a closer look at the facebook group for the 'International High IQ Society'. Threads on the discussion board range from those that discuss the group such as 'What resources become open to you when you join?', 'Membership - too easy to get in??' and 'grooming intellectuals' to those that discuss the ups and downs of a high intellect such as 'Disadvantages of a high IQ', 'Inborn Intelligence Versus Acquired Intelligence', 'The Complete Guide To Genius' and 'Factual portion of the IQ test'. If you are interested in tackling topics of a more philosophical nature, you may be interested in 'What is God's Purpose?', 'Why have humans evolved emotions? Why has every society developed religions? Is there a useful connection?' and 'Eternal life is "unnatural?"' There are also a few purely scientific threads such as 'spacetime/time dilation,relativity impossibilities', 'Dark Matter and Virtual Particles' and 'Supraversal theorem of borderless space' and even challenging questions such as 'Can anyone tell me the next number in this sequence?'

What's great about this group: Challenge your mind.

Edit (25 October 2023)

While there are Facebook Groups with names that seem similar, they don't seem old enough to be this one. There is a Facebook Page Named International High IQ Society, which can be found here. 

Equine Artists

Most little girls go through a phase of passionately loving all things horse. Some never outgrow it. If you cannot get enough of looking at the equine form, then feast your eyes on the images in this group.There are over 800 pictures in the gallery. Some of the art featured include works of line drawings, sculpture, ceramics, watercolors, sterling silver pendants, oils, pastels, graphite pencil, colored pencil, chalk on black card and even horse hair bracelets. Topics on the discussion board include 'Introductions', 'THE USE OF PHOTOGRAPHS IN CREATING ART', 'favourite artist' and 'Tips from artists to artists'. If you are an artist yourself, and include horses in your subject matter, this is a great place to showcase your work.

What's great about this group: It's a must for horse lovers.

Update (22 April 2024)

Most likely, it would be this group. The group was founded in 2007, has 4.3k members and is now private. Go here to request access.

Dreams

Why do we dream? What is the meaning of dreams? If you are interested in exploring the above questions, you might want to look at today's featured group. It is not the only Facebook group by this name, and it is not even the largest, but it does feature the liveliest selection of content. Threads on the discussion board include 'Dream Travel', 'Lucid Dreaming', 'Only remembering fragments of dreams?', 'A little interpretation wanted' and 'Here's an odd one...' More dreams shared and discussed can be found in wall posts. There are not many images in the gallery, but
they include a wide variety ranging from line drawings to surrealistic art.

What's great about this group: explore the mystery of dreams.

Update (22 April 2024)

There are numerous groups themed around dreams and dream interpretation. It is difficult to tell whether any of them was this one.
