Facebook Fan Page is a good option to keep your readers together in touch with you. I recently created my fan page and I am still working on it to improve it!

Twitter is one of my top referrers. I created a separate account for my business profile and fan page on Facebook, but I find that now I am not that active on either these or my personal Facebook page. Does anyone else do this, or do you just have one account?
I only have one account and i choose to be it because i want to utilize my current friend (above 1000). There is no point of my fan page if it is in different account.
