We are not on Facebook.
However, we are in process of a commercial project that we think may need social media marketing. Is it possible to have a commercial Facebook page for a product that still safeguards privacy? We will have to place our names and certifications/credentials out there for this project, so the simple act of marketing becomes marketing ourselves. We will also have a website for the project, so I suppose the combination will end any privacy we still may have? Can you have the little *share this* icon on a website without personally engaging in Twitter, Digg, et al? I really draw the line at Twitter.
We will NOT have any political or even vaguely ideological information on the website. With another website for another product and a Paypal account, plus some eBay sales, I assume we have little privacy left, anyway?
I have asked a couple of savvy friends, both of whom have a commercial page, but they seem vague on this question. One, however, is fairly certain her business has been targeted for her conservative activism, but she can’t really prove it.
Nor am I at this point.
I'm NOT intimating that Facebook is evil.
I think what I'm expounding is it's just the beginning of what appears to be coming. WHY?
Because of the amounts of MONEY that can be made by doing so.

I think you should be ok to be honest. Just making it a brochure page should be fine. You don’t have to show your personal name or anything if you dont want to.
