I did not need to download one when I joined some organizations' pages, and the messages I see from organizations switching inform users that they don't need to do anything. It looks seamless to me. Great discussion. Tiffany Bryan,

I know we've both encountered that when inviting Facebook members to groups. Page posting is the ultimate non-intrusive Facebook method to raise awareness for a company or an event. And if you already have a reputation for posting important items with your friends, they're more likely to look at your posted items. Tiffany, Thanks for stopping by! I looked into it further and you're right. Group members can be automatically transferred over to a Facebook page, but I'm still not sure if the members must already have the pages application installed in their Facebook profile in order to view the page. ambivalentmonk,

I enjoyed reading the links that you found too. The blogger on one of your links, Uncontrolled Vocabulary, was struggling with getting his group members over to the fan page area. I found on the Facebook page help section that Facebook will do the transfer automatically for you if you request it. It's good to know. Tiffany Bryan,

Too many people, myself included, just do mass invites that more often than not push people away. I tend to look at posted items, though, and I would argue that they reach a better target audience because it requires being active on the audience's part (choosing and clicking on the link posted) as opposed to passive (being invited). It naturally weeds out those that wouldn't be interested in the first place. Unfortunately, events and groups can become so mundane, as well, when one is inundated with 10-20 invites a day.
