Facebook Community Pages Unveiled

This is no April Fools joke folks, Facebook unveils it’s new Community Pages feature, without any formal announcement.

As if Facebookies weren’t overwhelmed with the Fan Page, Group, Personal Profile trifecta as it was, now we have a new component- the Community Page. Community “unofficial” Pages will be created by users in support of topics or causes (like “Can this pickle get more fans than Nickelback?”). Now Fan Pages will be used strictly for businesses by their brand owners, aka “official Pages”.

What does this mean to current fan page owners of pages like “I love hockey” or “Can this pickle get more fans than Nickelback?”
Will Facebook remove them or will they be transferred into community pages?

What do you think?
