Facebook Pages redesign now available, takes effect for everyone March 10
Here's what the new Facebook Pages has to offer:
Notifications: You'll can now get Facebook notifications and email notifications when fans post or like something on your page.
Use Facebook as your page: Pages now work a lot more like personal accounts. You can like other people's posts and post on walls and other pages as your page. Each page will also have get a news feed, and mutual friends and interests will appear to anyone who views a page while logged in.
Left-side Tab Bar: Navigation has moved to the left side of the page, and admins can use the sidebar to feature specific admins of the page, or to feature other, related pages.
"Everyone" Wall Filter: People viewing a page will be able to view posts by that page or posts by everyone, and the new smart filter will push the most interesting stories to the top. Admins can also sort posts by most recent and see hidden posts.
Featured Photos: Like individual Facebook accounts, Facebook Pages now feature their five most recently published photos at the top of the page.
You should see the new layout popping up all over the place in the next couple of days, as page admins start upgrading.

I really like the new Facebook Pages redesign. It reflects the updates that were made to the profile pages back in January, so it all looks streamlined and more standard across the entire site now. However, after trying out all the new goodies that are available, I did still have a question and hopefully someone on this site may be able to answer it for me.
In the Download Squad article it states:
"Use Facebook as your page: Pages now work a lot more like personal accounts. You can like other people's posts and post on walls and other pages as your page. Each page will also have get a news feed, and mutual friends and interests will appear to anyone who views a page while logged in."
Perhaps I am doing something wrong, or need to turn on a feature I am unaware of to activate it, but I can't seem to post on other people's walls or 'like' other people's posts when I am using my PAGE as my Facebook. For instance, my Page is currently liked by 7 people, so I would assume I'd be able to post on their wall or simply 'like' one of their posts, but when I visit their personal Facebook pages, the pages appear as though I'm not their 'friend,' thus displaying limited information which omits any sort of comment/wall field to use to post. It also does not give me an option to 'like' or 'add to friend' on any personal Facebook pages.
Am I only able to post on wall and like posts on certain types of profiles when I'm using my PAGE on Facebook? I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding on my part or something stupid I'm doing wrong, but I'm pretty savvy when it comes to Facebook and typically understand and adapt to all changes they make or have made.... I greatly appreciate any help and/or feedback.
I'll play around with it a bit more tonight and see if I can pinpoint any issues or limitations their may be.
Thanks!
Also, while I'm on here, I noticed we are now able to link our PAGES to our TWITTER account. This is something that has always been available as a feature, however, we are now able to use it where any posts made on FACEBOOK would be updated on TWITTER as well. It used to work only vice versa. Twitter posts posting to Facebook. Does anyone know if this new feature is limited ONLY to pages or can I set up my PERSONAL Facebook page to post my Facebook Wall posts to my PERSONAL Twitter account? Right now, on my personal page, it only gives me the original option of Twitter posts posting to my Facebook account. Let me know if anyone has any additional information. Hopefully I didn't just confuse you all with this last paragraph... I tried to be as clear as I could, but is a confusing scenario to spell-out. Ha ha!
Thanks again!
(I'm new to posting on Download Squad comments, but I've been a lurker for a while now!)

It also seems that you can now tag a Page in a photo - can someone confirm this? It seems like I can take some pages but not others, it is because only some of those pages have upgraded to the new Pages?
