Facebook gets more dynamic

Recently, Facebook changed an important aspect of its Community Pages. Before, you had to 'join' Pages about Eminem or Lagavulin. Since March, you can 'like' them, like you 'like' a friend's status update or photograph. This offers Facebook users the chance not to commit yourself to a Page by joining and be in the fans list, but still express affinity.

Today, Facebook is innovating and updating this. Since Community Pages are not run by individuals, they don't have a wall or send updates to users' feeds. Instead, they will import streams of related, public content from user status messages.

For example, if you write a status update like "I love this new product at Wal-Mart", Facebook will recognize the term 'Wal-Mart' and will import my update to the Wal-Mart Community Page.
Also, Community Pages will include relevant information from Wikipedia under a special tab.
