Facebook Changes: Community Pages and "Like" Button

Facebook to Link Profiles and Pages
http://mashable.com/2010/04/19/facebook-pages/

These changes are related to the new “like” terminology Facebook introduced at the end of March. Instead of becoming a fan of pages — which, at the time, were limited to brands and organizations — users could simply click a button stating that they liked the page/brand/organization. The new lingo gave users less commitment and more ability to easily express affinity.

These community pages aren’t run by individuals, so they don’t have a wall and don’t send updates to users’ feeds. Instead, they import streams of related, public content from user status messages.

I don't think community pages will be useful for hostels if they don't send the updates into users' feeds.

I created one for "Hostels" here, but the "community page" is basically functioning just as a basic Facebook page:

(Try the I Love Hostels Group if you want to join an active hostels group.)
