I know we already have a Facebook 'Group' for ICF. But before anyone asks me why a 'Page' when we already have a 'Group'. The reason is a Page is differnt to a group the way it functions and what they represent. Facebook Pages Like a friend's profile, Facebook Pages enable public figures, businesses, organizations and other entities to create an authentic and public presence on Facebook. Unlike your profile, Facebook Pages are visible to everyone on the internet by default. You, and every person on Facebook, can connect with these Pages by becoming a fan and then receive their updates in your News Feed and interact with them. Authenticity is at the core of Facebook. Just as profiles should represent real people and real names, so too should Pages for entities. Only the official representatives of a public figure, business or organization should create a Facebook Page. For example, If I am an avid watcher of the American TV show "Lost" on ABC. By connecting with the official Facebook Page for "Lost", I can keep up on the latest episodes and other information directly from the people behind it.

Facebook Groups While Pages were designed to be the official profiles for entities, such as celebrities, brands or businesses, Facebook Groups are the place for small group communication and for people to share their common interests and express their opinion. Groups allow people to come together around a common cause, issue or activity to organize, express objectives, discuss issues, post photos and share related content. When you create a group, you can decide whether to make it publicly available for anyone to join, require administrator approval for members to join or keep it private and by invitation only. Like with Pages, new posts by a group are included in the News Feeds of its members and members can interact and share with one another from the group. Groups range widely, from members of a church group or athletic team organizing activities to serious topics on politics and world events or even more lighthearted themes. Say that you and your friends have a favorite celebrity or cause you want to rally around, but you are not the official representative of either. You can either become a fan of the official Facebook page for the celebrity or cause and show your support there or create your own group on Facebook around the common interest. For example, just as if I'm a fan of the official Page for the show "Lost," I am also a member of groups created by other fans like myself. The "Lost" groups offer a way to interact with a community of people and discuss the latest theories around what is happening on the show—from what the "smoke monster is" to how it will all end.

Hence Leading websites, Business, Celebs prefer to go for Facebook 'Pages' Rather than Group. An Update on the Official 'Page' will be available on Your wall Feed if you are the members of the Page which is not possible in case of a Group. You'll have to visit a group , to check the activity. A Facebook 'Page' grows over time much more than a Facebook 'Group', and Helps the subject we want to advertise or Promote over Facebook, Gain popularity among the Masses. CI, ESS and many other Websites have their Facebook Pages. I discussed this with Outy, Shane, Ludhs and they gave me the nod to create it long back. And it is ready now, To be used by ICF. Members of the Page will get all the Contents of the New threads made on Cricket Talk availble on their News Feed. They do not need to acess ICF to check if a 'New Thread' has been made. Our Facebook Page's adress is 'Facebook.com/IndianCricketFansDOTCom' Here is the Link. This is an Official Page and represents ICF from every aspect. PJ asked me to make a thread regarding this and I am Done.

So if you see a new thread in your feed and you want to post a comment to it, then you do it on the page wall. Members on ICF won't be able to read those comments from the forum and interact from here or is that possible...like a fusion? :woot:

Facebook stalking happens to be one of my favorite hobbies, unfortunately earlier my friend seized control of my blackberry and liked every photo of some girl when she is showing some cleavage, and trust me thats a lot of photos. Awkward.
