Hi. Very nice share. I was about to create a fan page for my blog. But then I was presented with 2 options: Official & Community. Your article helped me and I think, as a blog owner I need to create a Official Page. Thanks.

Aniket.

So if I understand this correctly, I could spend a lot of time and effort developing a Fanpage, and if it gets to a certain amount of fans, FB could just take it over, and I lose everything I worked for and built up?

This is crazy. It makes you think about why I should go down this avenue if that is in fact the case.

Hi Betsy,
I would wait since Facebook usually sticks to what they say. Take a look at this post for a better idea of what the prompts are. They not only send an email but they will also post on your FB page an warning about it. Are you the only admin? Is it possible that another admin got the email? It’s in your best interest to authenticate if prompted though otherwise you could lose the page all together. http://nonprofitorgs.wordpress.com/2010/06/17/will-facebook-authenticate-nonprofit-organizations-or-shut-it-down/

Keep me posted on what happens.

HI Kimberly,

I am the administrator of 4 facebook business pages, one of which has 25,000 fans.
I have been playing around with the new insights and noticed this text in the definitions:
If you have an Authorized Page, you are also able to see post analytics for stories you post from your Page. Users who are exposed to your posts in News Feed are considered active users.

Doing more investigating, I found an authorization form somewhere in the Facebook help center. It says I only need to fill it out if I have been prompted by Facebook and if I send it without being prompted, it will be ignored.

As far as I know, I haven’t been prompted, but I am nervous about this. Do you recommend that I send in the form anyway?
