I am one confused bunny – help! (7 posts)

Topic tags: help, Login
  • I have managed to get myself so confused over two different ‘views’ of my facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Easy-Newscomau/211168122314510

    Sometimes when I view the page (logged in – but not sure whether as me or the page – and perhaps that is the problem!) I see a WALL with nly posts I have made.

    At other times I see NEWS FEED and the posts of all those who I have Liked so far (some of my clients).

    I cannot work out what is happening…..why the difference?

    And which version do people who visit the page see – my posts about my service, or my Liker’s posts about all and sundry?

    OK – I am slow, I know….so any help on deciphering the difference would be appreciated…..

  • Hi Simon, nothing too complicated here- you are doing just fine ;)

    I think you will get rid of the confusion by using the drop-down menu located next to “Home” link at the top-right once you have logged-in.

    Then, use the “Use Facebook as Page” option and that is what the Fans will see- the wall of your fanpage.

    Otherwise, you are simply viewing the wall of your personal profile. Hence the difference. 

    I hope my reply does not confuses you further, lol.

  • hi @simonstjohn,

    yes, ditto what @pradeepnair said! you are doing fine! :)

    i think what you’re seeing is something that took me a bit to get used to as well:

    • when you log in to Facebook, you’ll always know who you “are” by looking in upper right corner. you’ll either see your name, or a page name that you are the admin of.
    • so, be “you” and click on Home (also in upper right); you see the news feed of your personal friends
    • now, be “one of your pages” and click on Home; you will see the news feed of everyone your page has “liked” (now, note, your fans will not see this – only you as the admin of that page sees this particular news feed)
    • now, as that same page, click on the name of page in upper right and you’re back to your page wall…. the wall everyone can see
    the navigation on fb can get sometimes confusing, for sure! especially when you have your own profile and then have some pages you are the admin for to boot! 

  • The fact that every Page has it’s own News Feed is confusing @simonstjohn  But it’s super cool too because now you have your own customer News feed that you can watch to make sure you don’t miss any updates of any of your customers!  Great explanation,  @pegsousa

  • I agree with @andrea-vahl  that Peg @pegsousa your answer is just brilliant – you made the utterly confusing totally clear because you really understood the DNA of my muddleness and the step by step was perfect. I so appreciate the time you took to help me.

    And Andrea’s insight is fantastic too – so the Fans newsfeed is somethign only I see and I can keep an eye on my clients and what theya re up to which is very interesting.  Thank you too @pradeepnair for your help too!

  • @simonstjohngee, thanks, simon. no trouble at all. perhaps we share some similar DNA. : ) i spend much of days in muddle-dum.

  • ha ha – i call them melting moments! @pegsousa
