We are very informal with ours and a handful of our volunteer corps (plus our local bicycle coalition staff) have access as page admins. It's a FAST/FUN way to publish insignificant but interesting things - interesting links, random events "Unscheduled hours today, 1-3pm", random happenings "A line of people waiting outside the door when we opened today. Cool." and community news.
We've noticed though that the people who watch facebook may not be the same people who are paying attention to our mailing list.
Additional comments based on some other responses:
- We don't add anyone to our facebook page, we just advertise once in
a while that we have one and they can join it.
- Yes, we have a website and other outlets for long-term info. Those
aren't good for messages such as the "Unscheduled hours today, 1-3pm" type communication.
- User can write on our wall, but that doesn't get rebroadcast to all
the fans (I think), so not many people would see it.
