Facebook upgrade pages - even easier to market your page!

[QVA - Emma]

Hi all - you may or may not know that tonight Facebook have upgraded their Facebook Pages so you can now post as your fan page or as the pages you admin. You can switch between the two!

This has made it a lot easier to market your business on Facebook as you can now comment on other peoples pages as your business, without breaking the T&Cs by creating another profile for your business.

Thoughts?

Great idea IMO and another 'tell' as to where they are going. FB are moving towards monetisation and this is the ideal way, hok em then land em.

It will be interesting to see how much they think they can charge when the time comes.

Indeed a possibility. Made it harder for apps builders too though with a planned move to iFrames to coincide with the official change on 11 March.

Be interesting to see how it all pans out I for one was very excited, although most annoyed I am now bumped from page 1 to page 2 of the big G for facebook pages upgrade damn you authority sites!

;D

FB are moving towards monetisation

I don't think they are in the sense you mean. I think they are simply working to increase their existing monetisation from advertising.

It's an awesome update. I love being able to post as my pages. It's not a bad advertising tool, also a great B2B tool.

The best thing for me is the notifications; it has been difficult not being able to know when someone posted a comment.

Mind you the notifications do not seem to be working at the moment....

Facebook seems to be tightening their grip on the internet, is Google doing enough to hang on or will it go the way of some of the other search engines. Facebook is the future

will it go the way of some of the other search engines

what way is that?

As some people find it easier to read a PDF doc than sit and watch videos I've created a quick little guide with marketing tips and etiquette on how to use the new features. You can find the link my sig

Enjoy!

Is the new page format working for everyone okay? I am trying to post a picture and comment on another page and it isn't working. I have Liked the page and everything but it just won't upload.
