As you can see, Facebook Pages are similar to a normal Facebook account, except that you can customize the appearance, you can upload or customize the header photo,  posting stories, events and more… The most interesting feature of a Facebook Page is that you can build an app adding to the tab of a Facebook Page.  This can extend the contents of your Facebook Page.

The other main difference between Facebook personal account and Facebook Pages is the way connecting with audiences. Facebook personal accounts connect friends while Facebook Pages are used to connect “Fans”.  There are Likes button on all Facebook Pages. When somebody click on the Likes button (i.e. likes your pages), he or she becomes a fan of your Facebook Pages.
