Facebook Profiles
A Facebook Profile is what you probably think of when someone mentions Facebook. It’s a personal account for one person that’s (meant to be) in their real name.
With a Facebook Profile, you can:
- Connect with people by adding them as Friends or Following them (although you are limited to a maximum of 5000).
- Share statuses, photos, videos, links, and so on with your Friends and Followers.
- Post comments and share things on your Friends’ accounts or message them privately through Facebook Messenger.
- Like Pages and join Groups.
- Set up your own Pages and Groups.
There are obviously a lot more features, but that’s a broad overview of the main ones.
Although you will see some people set up Profiles for their businesses or some other purpose, it’s frowned upon by Facebook. A Profile is for a real person, not a shop.
Facebook Pages
A Page is similar to a Profile except it can be for anything—not just people. There are Pages dedicated to everything from famous authors to local secondhand car dealerships and circus troupes to fan fiction.
