I regret that it took me this long to stumble across it ... I do think that a profile is appropriate for some companies - one situation where this works well is with a mascot It is also important for readers to know that applications can be fantastic marketing and branding tools for almost any brand - not just technology companies. Some of the most succesful applications have been the 'just for fun' ones that you mentioned and there is no reason non-technology companies couldn't create one of these to tie into their brand - for example, the university of ottawa has a great application tied into a separate microsite. Everything else is bang on with what I have been saying :) What a great post! I regret that it took me this long to stumble across it …

Companies should leave the dull, stodgy persona at home and have a little fun with their Facebook presence. Jonmoss, Agreed. Companies need to think ahead about how they plan to use Facebook to find the best way for their needs. In general, I would start with a page and only create a group if there was a real need for one. Craig,

Good advice. Companies should leave the dull, stodgy persona at home and have a little fun with their Facebook presence.

Jonmoss,

Agreed. Companies need to think ahead about how they plan to use Facebook to find the best way for their needs. In general, I would start with a page and only create a group if there was a real need for one.

I've seen a number of companies start a FB group for their company and later on realize they should have created a company page. Efforts to get everyone in the group to migrate fail and they end up with a strong group, and a not so strong "company" page. Plan ahead and look before taking the leap. Good info!

I agree that you should keep your personal account separate from the company page account, and the company page should be casual if not fun and engaging with the fans. Facebook is not meant to be a dull way to communicate, and neither should the page for your company. Craig www.budgetpulse.com Good tips for Facebook.
