Now your profile "likes and interests" MIGHT make you a fan on Facebook's New Community Pages without your permission!

My Facebook profile has yet to be "transformed" so I had to find someone else's profile to illustrate. Over the next coming days you should start to notice these changes on your profile and your friend's profiles.

First let's look at an old Facebook profile




Now a new transformed profile (I did the highlighting)



Almost EVERY link on this persons page has become a community page without them knowing! Here are just a few of those pages Facebook generated from this and other profiles who also had some of the same likes and interests

Being a Nerd


Staring Off Into Space


Looking Fashionable


And Saving Animals


If you look at the profiles of some of the people who LIKE what seem to be off the wall or strangely named community groups you will most likely see these community names in their profiles! For example:

changing dirty diapers (some listed in their profile under activities)
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Changing-Dirty-Diapers/373532393369?ref=ts

Any Movie that Makes me Laugh (people listed this in the movies section of their profile) http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Any-Movie-That-Makes-Me-Laugh/360781769893

** I am not yet sure if you have a private profile, if it makes you show up as a LIKE-er in a community group but I will be investigating and let you know :)


UPDATED on April 27, 2010 :) It appears you will NOT show up as a LIKE-er if you have set your profile settings properly after you have a NEW profile! Please see the post above for an explanation on how to do that :)
