The big news today is the redesign of the Facebook Fan Pages. You can see how it looks here. Lots of interesting new features. You can now post, like and comments as a brand, instead of as a person. Notifications has been fully enabled for pages, making it a lot easier for you to manage fan interactions.

You can change your fan pages here, which might as well do now. This change is coming in the future anyhow.
