How To Convert Your Facebook Profile to a Business Page

A much awaited feature from Facebook which would help some business and public figures is the Profile to Business Page migration tool that has been recently released by Facebook. Using this tool, you can convert your Facebook profile to a Business Page.

This tool would really be helpful to Business owners who have accumulated a lot of friends in their profile. So instead of creating a Page and starting from 0, they can convert all their friends into fans.
If you have decided to convert you Profile into a Facebook page, do consider the following points:

• Your Profile photo would be transferred to the Page
• All other information like album photos and likes will disappear once migrated
• Download your Profile Information before you migrate
• If you have more than 100 friends, you can not rename the Page

Advantages

This tool might not be useful for most of them but it will surely prove good for public figures and business owners. Facebook has set a friend limit of 5,000 for all users, so business owners who have reached this level can surely convert their profile into a business page and connect with more people around the Globe.

Disadvantages

A disadvantage is that users who were your friends will not be notified that their friendship has been converted into like. Moreover, this migration is irreversible. So once you have converted your Profile into a Business page, you can not revert back to your Profile.
What do you think about this new tool released by Facebook? Do let me know.

Why Do Iranians Have Duplicate Facebook Accounts?

Got your eyes on the second point? These points have been listed on the Terms page of Facebook and it clearly says that you can not create more than one profile on Facebook. However after a personal experience I could infer that there are millions of Fake profiles on Faceboook. So why do people create fake profiles? I have listed some points in a previous post but I forgot to mention this in my previous post: Facebook is blocked in Iran and activities of Iranians are being watched closely by some activists.
Iran had banned its citizens from using Facebook as they suspect people from engaging into anti-state activities. Despite this people have found out ways to circumvent the block as Facebook is addictive.  The authorities send friend requests to people whom they suspect of engaging into anti-state activities just to track their activities, so beware if you are an Iranian you need to be careful in accepting friend requests.
Houshang Fanaian had been a year old member of Facebook when he was imprisoned for posting soe news against the arrest of Bahais on his Facebook Page. According to Radio Free Europe, he had previously been sentenced for acting against national security and “insulting the country’s supreme leader” because of his religious activism.
Use of Facebook for protests is nothing new as it had always been the best way to support a cause or to revolt against a national decision.  A previous protest in February to support the Arab uprising attracted tens of thousands of Iranians to the streets and since then, the organizers of those events are under house arrest. Apart from this University students are also being questioned for posing in an unusual fashion in photos which were posted in Facebook as they were considered immoral by some people.
The solution which the Iranians preferred is to create fake profiles on Facebook. They have one profile with their own name and the other profile is used to post about state politics, the poor condition of the economy, lack of freedom and other grievances. This is perhaps the easiest way to trick those authorities who are having a close watch on their personal profiles.
But as you have seen in the image above, Facebook does not allow creation of more than one profile. Though these terms are overlooked by Iranians, would this be a permanent solution?

Should Facebook let people create more than one account?

If you are a Geek like me, you would switch on your PC as soon as you enter home. Perhaps you would either tap your keyboard or mouse, or press the power button. Wouldn’t it be much better if you find your PC ON when you enter your home? It’s possible provided you have an Android Phone and this tutorial will help you wake up your PC automatically using your Android Phone with a free app called PC Auto Waker. It sends a packet to your PC which wakes it up. To test it, you can download the app on your phone and hit the Wake All button on the app. You can also refer our tutorial to install Apps on Android OS and another tutorial to receive Android Phone Alerts on your Desktop. After installing the PC Auto Waker App if your computer wakes up, well and good. But if it doesn’t, then you need to read the tutorial below.

Configuring Auto Waker App

Once you have downloaded the Auto Waker App, you need to configure the app and the PC for proper functioning. The PC you need to wake up must be connected to a broadcasting WiFi router.

Step 1

First you need to give a name to your PC which you usually give while Installing Windows. This name is used to identify your PC on the App. You can enter this name in the App. The name you enter need not be the same as that of your computer’s network name.

Step 2

Next is the MAC address of the target computer. You can found this address on the command window of your computer. Go to Start->Run and type cmd . This opens your command line interface. Type ipconfig/all and hit Enter. You can find the label Physical Address under the Connection-specific DNS Suffix. The MAC address appears to the right of the label Physical Address and it is a string of six two-digit numbers of the format ##-##-##-##-##-##. Enter this Address in the App.

Step 3

Finally you need to enter the SSID  of the wireless network your computer is connected to.
After you have entered all the three credentials, you are done with it and you can place your computer in Sleep or Hibernate mode and wake it up using the Wake All button on the PC Auto Waker App. Still if it doesn’t work ,you need to read further below:

Configuring Your PC

If your Computer does not wake up, it’s because it is not set up to receive the Wake-On-LAN packet from the App. To set it up properly you need to restart your computer and view the BIOS Screen by entering the correct key which is shown at the start up. It varies for different operating systems. After you enter the BIOS Screen, you need to look for Wake-On-LAN option and enable it. It might also be “Power ON by External Modem” as BIOS screen varies with different computers.
After you have enabled it, you need to configure your Windows too. To do this change the settings of the Local Area Connection in your computer. In Windows, go to control Panel->Network and Internet Connections. Right click on the Local Area Connection and choose Properties. After this click on Configure as shown in the image below.
After clicking on Configure, you would find the Power Management Tab. The three checkboxes visible must be checked if they aren’t already.

This would clear all the hazards you might face in the set up. Give it a try. If you still face issues, feel free to comment below Isn’t it a great trick? What do you think?
