“A Facebook Page is a customizable presence for an
organization, product, or public personality to join the
conversation with Facebook users. The Page focuses on the
stream of content posted by the Page administrators. By
leveraging the real connections between friends on
Facebook, a Page lets Fans become brand advocates. Posts
by the Page will start to appear in News Feed, giving Pages
a stronger voice to reach their Fans. In addition, Pages now
have the flexibility of multiple customizable tabs previously
