Facebook has created a new page type called a Community Page. Just because it was launched on April 1st, don't be fooled by the language to think that it is the right type of page for your apartment community. When you click on "Create a Page" you will now see the option of the "Community Page to the right. This is NOT what you want to build. Your business fan page should be built by selecting "Create a page for a - local business" seen on the left side of the page.

 

Community page are for "causes" and groups of people passionate about one thing. This is Facebook's answer to the  "unofficial" pages.  Facebook has announced that these types of pages will be administered by the Facebook community.  You can read more at AllFacebook.com and Mashables.com. People have created pages for a variety of topics. You can check out some of the examples like "I don't care about your farm, or your fish, or your park, or your mafia - it has 5.82 million fans. 

 

Here is a link to the AllFacebook.com blog with more details.

GREAT information, Toni. I feel like we've just gotten to the point where we as an industry know to set-up Fan pages for our apartment communities instead of making personal profiles (or maybe not). I can see where this new "Communities" feature could very easily be misunderstood. Thanks, as always, for being proactive and helpful. Don't be fooled! smilies/smiley.gif
