Last week I posted an article on my facebook fan page about how ownership of a fan or business page can’t be transferred to another user (Facebook really needs to change this).
Someone commented on that post about what a problem this is and then asked me how to get notifications when someone posts to your fan page.
Right now there isn’t a way to get notifications on wall posts or comments on items I post but there is a workaround that helps a little.
If you allow fans to post directly to your wall, there isn’t a way to get a notification of this. As a little bit of a digression I think you should allow fans to post – it takes more monitoring to makes sure people aren’t posting spam but if you don’t allow the posts you aren’t building much of a community. I try to check for posts once or twice a day.
You can, however, get notifications about comments left on wall posts that you have made. What you need to do is “like” the post. You know how you get notifications on anything you like or comment on in the news stream? Well, the same thing will happen if you “like” you own post.
The downside is that it looks a little lame for the admin to be liking their own posts but I don’t think most people will really give it much thought.
