 Facebook Places Poor Facebook. It seems to be under constant attack from pranksters (or haters?) always starting rumors. The latest had nervous folks indiscriminately posting the following in their status:
ATTENTION!!!! Facebook launched Facebook Places yesterday. Anyone can find out where you are when you are logged in. It gives the actual address & map …location of where you are as you use Facebook. Make sure your kids know. Go to”Account”, “Account Settings”, “Notifications”, then scroll ………down… …to “Places” and un …check the 2 boxes. Make sure to SAVE changes and re-post this!

It’s kind of like when Prince changed his name to that symbol… nobody knew quite what to call him so they just called him ‘the artist formerly known as Prince’. For now we will just refer to the old Facebook Fan Pages simply as ‘pages’. That is until they change them again.
Sorry, you’re on your own with what to call “the artist formerly known as Prince”.
Having created several pages for clients before the switch, I was used to things working a bit differently: You could create the page (which makes you top Admin), add the company principals as Admins, and then remove yourself as admin when the project ended. At that point, the next person under you (the second one you had added as Admin) became the chief Admin.
But not any longer. Continue reading Facebook’s Pages Formerly Known As Fan Pages – UPDATED
