Hi Inigo – When you click the “Share” button in Facebook, anything that you share will automatically be posted to your Personal Profile. You do NOT have a choice. There is not currently a way to use the share feature and post to your fan page. You need to go to your fan page and type a status update and attach a link to the video or website or whatever you want your fans to see. This is the long way, and yes it does suck, but it is the only way to do it at this time.

This is great Dave! Thanks for testing this AND for sharing your findings on this blog! – Kimberly

This solution of course is only for fan page creators who don’t mind having their personal profile/account “deactivated”. (See my blog post http://www.marketingthatseasy.com/blog/2009/07/deactivate-reactivate-or-delete-facebook-account/ for info on deactivating, reactivating & deleting a Facebook account.)

Actually, for everyone’s reference…I have tested this. I created a test account, then my test account created a test fan page. From my personal page I joined the test fan page & was promoted to admin.

I did some posts from both accounts, then deactivated the test account. The test fanpage was still active, & the messages left on the wall from the test account were still visible (as fan page). As a side note, I also reactivated the test account & this account was set right back as account creator on the test fan page. I hope this answers the question; bottom line, you can delete a fan page creator account w/out deleting the fan pages it created (assuming there is another admin on the page, I did not test that).

I have the same question as Linda. Does anyone out there have any answers regarding this? Would like to delete an old account that setup the fan page, but don’t want the fan page to disappear.

I haven’t tested what you described but based on what I have tested and what I’ve read on the Facebook site, I believe any Fan Page that you create will be deleted when you delete your Facebook account.

What about if I have a personal Facebook account and create a Fan page for my company, add a coworker as an additional administrator, and then dele my own personal Facebook account? Will that Fan Page then soley be in their hands under their account or will the page be deleted?
Thank you so much!!
