One problem for a business (a corporate entity) is that the page must be created by an individual. Corporate identities and multiple identities are forbidden. Thus Microsoft's pages must be attached the profile of an employee. What happens if the employee moves on, gets disrguntled or simply changes role so that business , or brand, page is no longer relevant to that individual?

Turning this on its head. If a business decides it needs a Page, it will have to find an employee willing to accommodate that Page in his/her profile. Maybe Facebook should allow the creation of corporate IDs?

Suddenly it all becomes clear... I set up a page last night and have been trawling Facebook help and Google to see how pages can interact with (become fans of) other pages or create an alliance with groups - to increase cut-through... but you gotta pay for that! Cheers and thanks.

Has anybody seen interesting and effective ways that companies transfered their users from facebook groups to pages? I'd like to see my page http://upenn.facebook.com/p... get some of our hundreds of group members, ideas?

I have 10 fans of FacebookEconomy.com's page on Facebook, and I am convinced the business pages are the greatest thing since sliced bread!

Essentially, these "Pages" replace Groups as the means by which organizations and companies establish a presence on Facebook. So here's a question: are some of the communications restrictions of Groups (such as not being able to message more than 1,000) still in place on Pages?

The biggest problem right now as I see it, is that anyone can create a page claiming to be a brand owner. How do you reclaim ownership of your own brand page? As an example there are two Microsoft pages, none of which has any content. Probably a poor start by the biggest Facebook Ads supporter.

It's going to also revolutionize the hosting industry the way this works.

Maybe I'm stupid, but I can't see how can I create a Page for my brand. Is it in a closed invitation only or something?
