As far as I know, Facebook Groups still doesn't send media along in its email updates. While most everyone is on Facebook, many family members I know don't check it regularly enough to make it practical. Email is a different matter.
I think Facebook definitely has the stronghold with familiarity, though. I'd expect their groups features to expand dramatically in 2011.
