With plans to update the look of the fan pages on Facebook being ancient now, the social network has finally decided to implement the plans for real. Starting today, we will be able to see a simplified version of our pages making it easier to Browse. How? Apparently Facebook will be refining the Page Tabs by narrowing them down to 520 pixels compared to the previous 760 pixels.

I am not sure how many of you are aware of being notified about activity on a Facebook Page that you have? I had been using a simple way for Startup Meme [which you can join here], especially on links that had been posted ages back. However had never shared the tip on this with our readers, thanks to our friend Andrea Vascellari who brought this to our notice and I thought it was time I shared this with our readers too. It isn’t any difficult to get this going for your page on the social network and you can easily get notifications by following the simple steps.

When you talk about confusion, there is a lot you can find on Facebook. There already exist one with the Groups and Fan Pages on the social network and now we are spooned another one; Community Pages. So what is this exactly? A cross of Groups [Communities] and fan Pages? Not exactly, but the community pages are more like an update which your fan page would go through once the population on it gets too high.
Sounds quite justified, I mean if your fan page gets over a few thousand fans, the task of administering it gets quite tough. The basic objective is to keep brands/individuals in charge of their original pages while the growing number of fans can be branched to these community pages. Here, the users can freely share their passion for the brand or product ad represent their side of the brand while the official continues to be focused only the celebrities, product or company.

I just thought of giving this one a try, searching for I Hate and then refining it to pages. I was pretty surprised seeing that a page on Hating Text Messages was at number four with over 2,500,000 fans. I thought of searching for similar pages that were Hate Havens and associated to text messages.
I Hate Getting Texts That Only Say "k"

This shouldn’t be worth a read for many out there who have a Fan count of over a few million already or have friends that follow you blindly anywhere. However Facebook is a place where you will find a countless really innocent people who will believe you readily even if you came up with the most insane idea. I have been overwhelmed by fan pages that started barely a month back and have outgrown the subscribers of many major blogs combined. Surprising isn’t it, to me it is.
I have gulped down a large number of such groups on Facebook for they did really have some plan and purpose, but there have been some that just appear so insane that their creators need to be put in some Facebook Asylum. Now I am not being anti-people or anti-freedom of speech, but seriously it gets annoying when you get notified of joining a fan page that is being made with a purpose to amass 1,00,000 users to stop Facebook from going over to a paid model or something of the sort. More importantly there is so much duplication all across the platform and the numbers keep growing, are people really thinking that the team running Facebook actually plans to go over to a paid format or something of the sort? I don’t think so it will.

When you talk about measuring a popularity of anything you simply look at the stats; number of monthly visits, fans, etc. The popularity of Farmville is by no means questionable. Zynga has by no doubt utilized Facebook to its maximum potential reaching almost 75 million monthly users that spend hours doing farming.
What’s worth mentioning here is the fact that the social game’s fan page now has more fans on it than what Michael Jackson has on his. As of now the page has over 11 million users and all this has come largely on how virally it has grown thanks to the infinite notifications it sends to almost everyone on Facebook. But how long can Farmville leverage the feeds? We all know that Facebook is all set to reduce the presence of apps notifications on user inboxes and profiles. However I personally think that it wouldn’t matter much to Farmville for it has already got a lot of traction and its addicted users would engage with each to give it enough visits and keep it on top.
