What I'm saying is that brands should look to how individuals use Facebook. Besides not including an example – which I agree might be useful – what are you confused by?

I'm kinda confused by the article. Besides pointing out what brands don't do and what you do in individual accounts what are you saying? I mean we all know there is a disconnect for some people using Fan Pages but why not point out an example of one page that does things right?
At this point your article seems half finished..

“We tell jokes and cause trouble”

Some of us more than others, huh John?

whoops, make that: “…when literally you are not allowed to post under your own face on a Page in Facebook if you are an admin of that same page.”

It's hard to be one of the faces behind an organization when literally you are not allowed to post under your own face on a Page in Facebook. So, while I WANT to add in my own personal comments about what I am doing for our organization, I can only speak in the corporate voice. It's terribly annoying, because I don't want my opinions to be confused with the official stance of the association I work for. As a result, all my posts to the Page end up being marketing-speak.

We're all just learning how brands and FB can work in concert, and you have educated us yet again John. Personally, I would love to get your take on “social commerce.” That's outside the non-profit focus of your posts perhaps, but your insights would be appreciated.

You make a great point about “stuff.” Unfortunately I find that there is still a fair amount of fear with regards to posting other than “stuff.”

“Stuff” is comfortable because we send out “stuff” via all of our communications channels, and if it works for one, it must work for all right?
