I realise this has been asked on many other sites and I know that one cant be converted in to the other but, is there a way to /import/ the info, posts, pictures and or members from a group into a fan page?

Facebook will block you if you promote too much on a personal page. You can work around this problem for now by posting your fine company. But for me the best way around this is a Facebook fan page. This will allow you to create a page dedicated to your company while posting links to your fan page to your personal page. Which allows you to keep your friends and fans updated on your business.

I notice when creating a Fan Page you then have 6 choices for the type of Fan Page. While 4 of those are obvious, I was questioning Local business Vs. Company, Organization or Institute. I have a Fan Page and am having difficulty finding other a some local businesses that have Fan Pages. However if I go to my personal page I can find them and 'Like' them. Why can not my Fan Page 'Like' them? Can a Local Business not 'Like' a Company and vice versa??

is there a simple way to import blog feeds into your Facebook fan page? I have been advised by a website designer that it doesn't happen.

I have few fan pages and after reading that facebook takes away the administrative rights from the page andministrator once the page clicks a few thousands or more (Fans), i decided to convert to groups. What i dint know is that the groups dont give feeds to the group members unless the admin sends a message and that one too only while the group has of 5000 fans or less Thanks to your article now i know. Now i seem to be stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. Does anyone know why facebook is now deciding to take away the page from the administrator after hard work and thousands of fans? i think that's really unfair.

Thank you for this info. I just started a fan page and I knew I wasn't yet using it to it's fullest potential. You are so helpful!

does anyone ever have both a group and fan page and ever link the 2. I started with a gruop (not realizing it wasnt a fan page) and not sure how many people I would lose asking them to switch. 3 weeks I have 140 in group.

Thank you for posting this. I think the decision of whether to create a group page or fan page depends on what one is trying to promote. A blog, business music group etc., seems more appropriate for the Facebook Fan page. I think the Facebook Group is better suited for networking groups, alumni groups and any group of people with similiar interests who would like to come together. jmho
