Also, let's say you are an administrator for page for a company, and you no longer work for them, although you can appoint others as admin, you will always and forever be the person who will be the main administrator and will not be able to remove yourself unless you remove the page completely.

I've worked with both Groups and Pages and I think that Facebook still has a loong way to go if they are really serious about attracting business users. A few of my gripes: - You have to sign in with a personal profile. Many business users are unwilling to use a private profile on business time. Facebook allows us to block page posts to personal profiles but the doubts remain. - You can set up a page without a profile, but Facebook then keeps prompting you to set up a profile. If you've already got one and set up another you are breaking their terms of service - If you are using the ads on behalf of a page, joint administrators can't see the whole campaign - they can only see the ads they have set up. - Can't get invoiced for ads (Adwords you can) you have to use a credit card. Not always practicable in a corporate situation I've been pleased with the traffic that Facebook has been providing - for one site around 2% of visitors come from Facebook or Facebook ads in only two months - but its bloody hard work...
