Facebook Bands, Businesses, and Products
Facebook has released “Facebook Pages”
Facebook Pages are special profiles used solely
for commercial, political, or charitable purposes.
Ever since Facebook decided to go public and take on networking giant MySpace, we’ve adored them. Less tacky, cleaner, safer, more networkable, and just plain ol’ cool all around. But there was one thing that we did miss from myspace. Bands. After using Facebook for months, we would go to concerts and hear bands promote their MySpace page. We then would get the familiar sick feeling in our stomach of having to use that website again.
Now, not only does Facebook have clean pages for bands, but for businesses and products too. You can visit Radiohead’s page and listen to a few of their songs, or see what Costco is all about (I’m their 19th fan!). This makes the “I am a fan of” application a lot more useful, and allows to see what your friends like. Check it out!

Looks like all your visitors have chosen “Exactly what they were missing.” I completely agree - it’s the way to creatively join the commercial side of the internet to the consumer side without stepping too much on each others’ toes.
It’s still new though, of course. I can’t wait to see where it goes in the future.
