As a business owner with a Facebook page, it has been frustrating to not know when a fan comments on your page. Facebook just released a new business page layout that gives you the option to receive email notifications when a fan posts something on your page. This is nice, but it's not exactly what we've been looking for.
Another new option for Facebook Page users is the ability to use Facebook as your Page. This means that instead of leaving a comment as "John Bosley", I can comment as "John Bosley Photography". I decided to try this out and, to my surprise, discovered something pretty awesome. When you use Facebook as your page, you get notifications when someone posts on your Page! As you can see in the screenshot above, the first time you use this feature might be a little surprising, as you have a Friend Request for every fan of your page. You'll probably also have a bunch of notifications from previous fan comments. Once you get over the initial shock and zero these out, you'll actually be able to get notified when someone interacts with your page! Of course, you'll have to be using Facebook as your page, but it's so easy to switch back and forth, you can do it anytime you visit your page.
So, without commenting on some of the other changes to Facebook pages (what's up with the chronological order, or lack thereof?), this is one change that I'm really going to like!
While you're at it, why don't you head on over to my Facebook Page and become a fan?
