Facebook “like” pages

A month ago, this post would have been entitled Facbook Fan Pages, but since Facebook has nothing better to do than change around functions, terminology and their TOS…anyway, I digress.

I have a fan page for Kirsten Wright. I meant to set it up for Wright Creativity, but apparently wasn’t paying attention, and whoops! That was months and months ago. I figured it would be no big deal to change it later, so I didn’t worry about it. Much to my chagrin, it is a big deal…as in you can’t change page names. So now, I don’t really use it, and it sits there with pretty much the same content that is on my normal profile or this blog.

I understand the value of “Like” pages, in fact I have suggested them to many of the companies I have worked with. And, when it is used right, a fan page can be very successful. Unfortunately for me, I am not really using my fan page the way I actually recommend. Partially because it isn’t named right, partially because I share all my thoughts and content through my main facebook stream, twitter and linkedin already, and partially because I just don’t like the facebook pages that much.

So, I am considering removing my facebook “like” page and just telling everyone to subscribe via rss or email…or to follow me on twitter. It is all the same content, and these are tools I already maintain.

Do you have a “like” page? Any opinions on me removing mine (for or against?)?
