FaceBook Launches “Pages”

A few days ago Facebook launched Facebook Pages, officially allowing groups, businesses, organizations, etc. to host official sites. This is a great addition in a number of ways. Previously users had to form groups if they wanted to support an organization, now there can be an official page and supporters will be displayed as “fans.” The page administrators can also find and add relevant FaceBook applications, further enhancing the page’s usefulness. At our library, we created a group a little over a year ago to help students become more familiar with the library, and it’s always been a little awkward. Now, users can come to our official pages, check the events calendar, follow suggested links, and IM with a librarian directly from the page.
