Your Facebook Pages
This is where you can begin to 'mirror' your expertise or create a Web presence outside your Web site.
If you followed Linda's previous articles about Facebook, you've learned how to create an account, set your filters and privacy boundaries and have thought about how you want to brand your design, programming or other Web work. In this article, Linda takes you into Facebook's newest option - Pages. This is where you can begin to 'mirror' your expertise or create a Web presence outside your Web site.
Conclusion
Next week I'll provide you with some ways you can promote your Facebook Page without resorting yet to advertising on Facebook. In the meantime, you might want to learn more about Facebook Pages through the following links:
· Using Facebook Pages to Promote Your Blog: One important point among many: "Once you have created a page on Facebook, people can then become your "fan" or "supporter". You don't have to accept people as a fan and they can't see your individual profile."
· How to Develop a Facebook Page that Attracts Millions of Fans: You may not attract millions of fans, but the ideas here are good. Just remember that what may be one person's recipe for success might be your downfall. Try some of the ideas, keep the ones that work for you and eliminate the rest.
· Facebook Pages Get More Business-Friendly: Learn how to add newsletter sign-up forms, ebook downloads, and other HTML based elements. (You can add any of the default elements such as video or discussions as well) to your "boxes" tab.
· New Facebook Pages Getting Developer Attention: This might interest all you developers out there – you all should be the ones to make these Pages truly useful to your "fans." Good luck!

Now she uses her education and experiences in social media experiments.
