Profiles versus Pages
                       Profiles are for people; Pages are for businesses.
•   You have control over your Page, regardless of who is managing it for you. More than
    one person can be an “administrator” for your page.
•   Pages are public – Profiles are private
•   You can designate your Page category (local businesses, brands, musicians). This helps
    you maximize your ability to ‘get found’.
•   Anyone can become a fan of your Page without needing approval. (A Profile required
    mutual acceptance.)
