Facebook: Post & Comment as Fan Page Name

»Posted by on Mar 24, 2011 in Blog, Facebook, Social Networking | 0 comments

I’ve had several people ask me if it was possible to post and/or comment on individuals Facebook profiles or fan pages as their business name, and not their personal profile. My answer has always been the same… it can’t be done (directly, anyway). Some people used Facebook’s recent “@” feature work around, but that’s not ideal in some cases.

I was just poking around the interwebs and realized Facebook released a new feature last month that solves this problem. To post or comment under your Facebook fan page name simply:

  • Login to your Facebook account which is an admin of your fan page
  • Visit your fan page
  • Click the link in the right sidebar that says: “Use Facebook as Your Page Name“

Kudos to Facebook for finally implementing this. Shame on me for just finding this out. Yes, I blog about old news.
