Facebook Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg called out the social network’s groups feature during its fourth-quarter earnings call, saying that more than 500 million people use groups every month.

Zuckerberg also said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek that groups could be the focus of one of the standalone mobile applications being created by Facebook’s new Facebook Creative Labs initiative.

And last week, the social network began encouraging group administrators to add descriptive tags so that their groups could be more easily discovered.
