Ends up that it's very easy to create teams in Facebook, yet there are some facets of the brand-new interface that are a little bit less intuitive currently, consisting of the elimination of what they most likely identified were redundant as well as space-wasting buttons like "Submit" after you go into a standing update or remark.
