Then the light dawned that businesses using it = revenues for Facebook in the long term, and the terminology got tweaked a little bit.
The comparison with committing to a website design is interesting – I think you’ve hit on a problem with social media generally! On the surface it appears so “quick and easy” to jump in to that businesses sometimes don’t think about why they’re doing it, or what the long term goals are – and before you know it, it’s easy to have put in many hours of work to no particular end?

And this ease actively encourages more people to get involved. It doesn’t help that people in the ‘industry’ try to confuse and create mystery around facebook by talking of fan pages which it seems are good old business pages.
