Fan Pages on Facebook
I have recently been experimenting with Facebook Fan Pages. This is a Facebook web page not for an individual or a membership group but rather in support of a cause or organization. The instructions imply that these pages are often used for celebrities, bands or businesses. It seems to me to be a good way to provide pointers and basic information without too much structure.
I have created two fan pages:
- SEED Engineering Mentoring Program. This has 37 fans so far. I added links to the new Sun Labs technical report "Sun Mentoring: 1996-2009" and to Katysblog and welcome ideas of what else fits.
-
Young at Heart, Children's Worship Service for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church (Saratoga, California). This has 8 fans so far. Some of the photos I took for that
page:
I am still working out how best to set up a Facebook Fan Page, playing with the options and reading through tutorials, like How to: Create a Facebook Fan Page and 5 Elements of a Successful Facebook Fan Page and Facebook Group vs Facebook Fan Page: What’s Better?. My biggest problem so far is that Facebook's Search is good for people but not so much for not-people (group, cause, business, organization names). The people I usually ask for advice on new tools say they have never created a fan page either. So, I am now the expert (scary thought)! Still working on it...
