Facebook launched a new feature yesterday that allows fan pages to target updates by geography and language. Admins of fan pages have access to this option, and this functionality will be great for local and global brand integration.
This will be great for brands considering creating separate pages in order to gain an international social presence; now they won’t have to. All international updates, in all different languages, can now live on the same fan page.
The functionality is very simple to use. First click the target symbol next to the “Share” button under the status bar.

Then select your location and language targets. For location, you can drill down by country, state/province, or city. Language is self-explanatory, and you can use it in conjunction with geo-targeting or by itself.

That’s it! Happy targeting.

I am NOT a fan of Facebook fan pages. And I disagree with your article “Why You Shouldn’t Merge Tweets and Facebook Statuses” – but having typed that, every year about this time, I open up my blog and invite GUEST-POSTERS to contribute. I would like to invite YOU! Let me know…
Haha. Why do you think you should merge tweets and Facebook statuses? And send me an email at ustandoutblog@gmail.com; we can discuss the guest blogging there.
I have created a fan page for my non profit organization. How do I put music on it. I have tried using iLike but it only lets me put it on my actual facebook profile and doesn't give me the option of putting it on the fan page.

How do I export my Twitter updates to Facebook Fan Page?
Nice blog, have you written any ebooks? If not you should and you can monetize it on Clickbank or http://www.ebooked.org . Or you can use it to drive extra traffic to you site.
