Am I the only one without Facebook in this World?

I don't think so. According to my niece no-one under the age of 25 bothers with Facebook any more - "it's for old people".

I wouldn't know, as I'm old. Then again, I only use it to find out what my mom is up to

@Dashrender Have you created a business page on Facebook? This might be better for what you're trying to do.

There is a business page already out there - but I don't yet control it.

From my 5 seconds of looking, it appeared that business pages have to be owned by an actual FB account page (but I could be wrong) - as such I created a profile for myself exclusively for this purpose.

I have my own personal page that is really locked down, I won't use that for work stuff.

Yes you have to have a personal "named" account, to manage a business page.

You can share ownership/admin of that page with other named accounts too.

I built a new FB profile just for use at my office - to control business related matters on FB.

There's you're first problem. It shouldn't be an IT thing. that's PR/HR and Legal's thing.

We don't have an HR department other than the CEO/Office manager.. no way she's going to handle this.. it will likely be assigned to me.

Then the question is, are you trained and prepared to act as the HR department or as the corporate attorney? It's important to recognize this as acting as those departments, are you paid, trained or able to operate in those roles?

Lots of SMBs mix roles, just important to recognize what capacity you are working in.

Nope - I suspect I'll be little more than a gopher for this. My boss hasn't even asked me to do anything yet, and she may simply decide that we are staying away from it.
