My wife just got an interesting e-mail notification from Facebook about a Facebook Page she is a fan of. The notification was a summary of the activity on the Page for the day. The text of the e-mail goes as such:
“Here is this week’s summary for the Facebook Page: **************

Granted, the Page she was a fan of is not one that gets a lot of activity, it leads me to wonder if Facebook is beginning to enable e-mail notifications for Facebook Page activity on the site. I wonder if there were comments or Wall posts if those would have been included as well.
Facebook has had amazing notification features for normal user Profiles up to this point, but for Fan Pages, the notifications have been lacking. Users have been forced to resort to third party solutions such as NutshellMail (of which I am a user) to deliver notifications for such Pages to their e-mail inbox. On my own Fan Pages for myself and my Facebook books, this has been the biggest complaint amongst Fan Page administrators, that there was no way to be notified off the Facebook.com site when new activity occured on their Fan Page.
It appears this very soon won’t be the problem any more. Usually when Facebook tests features like this, it means a solution is just around the corner. Now the big question is, how can I get this enabled on my account?
Is anyone else seeing this on their Facebook Account? I’m interested to hear what you’re seeing.
