We have two admins to a fan page (for a mothers of twins club) and were wondering how we could comment on our fan page as ourselves and not as the page admin?

I'm trying to be efficient with my time, Dave, but somehow I end up forgetting about Twitter as I work on LinkedIn and play on Facebook.

Hi Dave! Since you're such a computer expert, I bet you know all of the smileys and emoticons you can use on Facebook when you're chatting with someone, right?
