Also allowing your friends to tag themselves in your pages can add a nice social “hook” to your page. You can use multiple Facebook applications to pull in your other already existing accounts from other social networking sites. With the help of some nifty applications, you can pull in Twitter, Flickr, and many others fairly quickly.
