Top 5 Facebook Pages BY Facebook

Fact: Facebook is HUGE. With 800 million users and counting, the social network doesn't just connect us with our friends anymore; rather, it serves as a gateway to the rest of the world. Right now, we don't just use Facebook to find people; we use it to find answers, news, entertainment, and events. But with the tons of people and pages on Facebook, how do you know which pages are the ones worth "liking"? Now to answer that question, I know that I could always give you a list of influential people, blogs, and news sources, but this week, allow me to focus on five Facebook Pages BY Facebook that are guaranteed to enrich you news feed instead of clutter it.

1. Facebook Marketing: Small & Medium Businesses -Facebook is constantly adding new products and resources that are geared to helping small and medium businesses make the most out of the network. No idea how Facebook Ads or Sponsored Stories work? This page is a good place to start. Facebook Marketing: Small & Medium Businesses allows you to be one of the first to know about products and services that can help you grow your business. Needless to say, if you're a business owner on Facebook, and you're working on growing your fan base on the social network, then don't go another day without checking out this page.

2. Best of Facebook Stories - Okay, so Facebook can be a little... scary sometimes. There are stalkers, trolls, bullies, and crazy people lurking in its dark corners. I honestly can't blame people for being cynical towards the social network. However, being the optimist that I am, I decided to look for positive stories about Facebook, and I across this page. Best of Facebook Stories highlights the positive impact that it has on people's lives. From estranged lovers finding each other, to philanthropic efforts gaining success, this page is truly a "feel good" source that will make you feel better not just about Facebook, but about people in general.

3. Facebook Safety - Still not over the crazy people lurking in the social network's dark corners? Then be sure to check out Facebook Safety. This page provides news and resources aimed to keep people safe online. Learn how to tweak your settings to make sure that your posts are safe and private. Use the page to report violations, and get updates on the most recent security features on Facebook to ensure that you don't end up as a victim of bullies and dishonest people online.

4. Social Jobs Partnership - This page was already discussed in a previous blog post, but I think it's worth mentioning again. Social Jobs is a partnership between Facebook, the U.S. Department of Labor, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), DirectEmployers Association (DE), and the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA). Its goal is to provide the unemployed with information and resources to help get them find jobs. If you're an employer, be sure to check out this page as well, for tips and best practices.

5. Non-profits on Facebook - Whether you're running a non-profit organization, or looking to help one, be sure to pay this page a visit. Non-profit on Facebook sheds light on advocacies and causes that need to be addressed, to encourage people participate in movements for social good.
