I think the only good thing is that they will see your latest information in the news feed but thats about it. I would never think facebook can be used this way. It’s really great that this powerful social network can be used for so many different things.

We have a Facebook Group. The Facebook link on our website never required someone to be signed in to Facebook, or even have a Facebook account. Now it does! Is there any way around this or do we have to convert our Facebook Group to a Facebook page?

I really believe that Facebook fan pages are overrated by marketing professionals. I run a film marketing consultancy specialised in digital and I tend to advise my clients against opening a time-consuming and ineffective Facebook fan page. The users who actually do see the updates on their wall is around 12% and tends to go down with time, unless they keep interacting with the page. This is a very low return on investment. I am relying more on Twitter and Google+ and will probably focus on those platforms for my future crowd funding or audience building campaigns.

It looks like the fan page has significant advantages over the group. Are there any particular disadvantages to having both? Say for example you focused on the fan page and invited your fans to join your group to get in on discussions of the the latest news. Are there any issues with brand dilution, such as people joining the group and not the fan page?

Thanks for asking the exact question I was looking for.

I have a free slots group, and have always wondered if it should of been set up as a fan page. It has been great as a group traffic wise. But recently it has started getting less joins and more leaves, and this was after upgrading the account. So I may now try a fan page and see if there is any improvment.

Here's a big difference for me. Pages allow you post a messages or picture messages via email whereas I haven't been to figure out how to this with groups. So, I can post a picture from my phone on the Page but not the Group.
