I guess a related question is, who are you trying to reach and do they use facebook in significant numbers? THat might help decide do you want a facebook (or LinkedIn or ....) profile

I believe Facebook now have the option for pages dedicated specifically to businesses (and bands).

Once you set up your facebook pfan page you can get a html button form facebook that says find up on facebook. Put that in a widget on your community to drive traffic back and forth.

I am also doing the same thing with youtube, flick and twitter. Here is an example of how you intergrat them into your community.

Not a bad idea. Kind of like a stealth widget.

Well yes you can have a company group but what is even better is to create a fan page for your company. Here is an exmple of what I have been working on

Companies can have GROUPS but I don't think they're allowed Facebook profiles. The site is pretty stringent when it comes to this. Anyway, who wants to be a friend of Nike? I think the 'groups' feature is far more versatile when it comes to seeing your community and bullitens. The profiles are not equipped to deal with the amount of information and interactivity that a product or company needs.

I came onto this page today and actually had trouble finding the Discussions. The opening page doesn't have the "Discussions" tab at the top, although discussion threads appear on the right. You might want to take a look at that from a usability/navigation point of view. I prefer how the Internal Collaboration is set-up, although I now realize you are hoping to steer folks into one of Build, Manage or Measure.
