If you are like me, you may have thought of Facebook as something for teenagers.  But then I started to notice businesses – quilt shops, magazines, publishers – adding links to Facebook on their websites.  That’s when I discovered Facebook Pages.

A Facebook Page is a public profile for sharing a business or product with Facebook users.  Because users are connected with their friends, when they interact with a Facebook Page, they spread the word to a wider circle of people.  But even visitors without a Facebook account can view the content of the Page.

My Facebook Page, called Kathy K. Wylie Quilts, was published just a few days ago.  So far, I have created three photo albums.  Sewflakes Quilts features twelve quilts designed with the Sewflakes: Papercut Appliqué technique.  The other albums display Award Winners or quilt designs with Patterns Available.

The Wall tab displays a running commentary of all the activity on the Page, including any new posts on the blog or on Twitter.  Facebook users can also add their comments or select things they like without leaving a comment.

It will be interesting to see how the Page evolves over time.  I will say, however, that all of the content will pertain to quilts or quilting.  I hope you will visit, add your comments, and share it with your friends!
