I do have a Facebook page in the design stage for my website but like I said, in the scrapbook market there can be severe consumer backlash for using fan pages as an individual. So I haven't launched it and don't think that if I do that it will be nearly as useful as my personal profile for marketing.

It allows to only add certain tweets to your Facebook Status and also supports pages. But FB has not made a clear statement on this. I hardly use my own profile anymore to push links out and have found pages brilliant. My opinion could change soon though. Nancy, you might want to look in to Selective Twitter App for Facebook.

Currently I have my Twitter posts also cross-post to my Facebook profile. Some of those posts are links to my blog posts, reminders about my weekly live podcast taping, etc. If it became a violation of terms of service for me to post those items on my Facebook profile, I would have to disconnect that auto-posting. I don't have time to update both services separately. Sorry Facebook, but Twitter wins if they aren't going to prevent me from keeping people in the loop on my professional activities on my personal profile. I will decide what is appropriate business activity for my profile, not you. In the industry that I work in (scrapbooking) fan pages are almost completely useless as marketing tools because of a consumer culture in that market that says you aren't allowed to look like you are trying to market yourself.

It's typical legal wording leaving every option open for Facebook. I am no lawyer or anything but if you wanted to post a link to a commercially run blog I would say you need to set up a page for this to be completely compliant. Then you can share the link posted on the page on your own profile. If I quickly try to think like Zuckerberg/Facebook: your profile and news feed are for your friends, pages are for 'fans'. And it seems that FB might revert the design decision made this Spring and isolate pages again. Nancy, agreed. It’s typical legal wording leaving every option open for Facebook.

What constitutes "commercial gain"? It could easily be interpreted if Facebook decides it wants to do so to mean that simply posting a link to your blog is a violation if that blog is a commercially run site. As a professional blogger, that concerns me. The wording of that proposed change at Facebook is very broad. What constitutes “commercial gain”?
