Can anyone help me with this Facebook quandary - Details revealed...

Asked by serenityNOW (3643points) June 5th, 2013

So, I have two Facebook accounts. One for me and one for my Facebook “brand.” When I’m cruising around on the Web, if I want to “like” something, it seems to :
a) Prompt me to switch to my “me” account, not the “brand” page I set up. If I do that, it seems that no “like” shows up anywhere (I want to “Like” as my Brand page.)
or
b) Yesterday, I kept on getting this image and clicking on it would do nothing. (Sorry, it’s tiny, and yes – those are dreadlocks!) I’m not much of a Facebook guy, so this is all rather confusing.
Thanks!

I think FB recognizes which one is the “real” you. What if you delete your personal account and keep the business account? When it stops recognizing the old account as the legitimate one, you could start up with a new personal account.

It might also associate the two accounts as being the same person because you are using the same computer to log on. If that’s the case, do as above, only use separate computers for each account.

I’m no FB guru, but this sounds like a lot of work.

I think what you need to do is when you want to promote your business then you should log in to your business page. Promoting your brand can be done in this manner. And later on you can switch over to your personal account.

It looks as if Facebook is now behaving in the manner of my I was hoping for. Now, when I click a link that I “like”, it appears on the timeline I want – my design “brand” page. I don’t know what was causing the unsavory behavior, but it seems like all is good. @tobycrabtree – That is what I was trying to do in the first place; Facebook was just being kludgy. But, now it works, so it’s all good. Thanks @tobycrabtree & @snowberry!

I’m not sure I’m getting this right but it may be choosing the facebook the computer is currently logged into at the time or maybe the last facebook account you were recently in.
