Where Are All The Brands?

Facebook’s new ad platform is in day two, and I had the chance last night to check it out more thoroughly.

I remain underwhelmed, and am finding it extremely difficult to locate brands, products, and stores to befriend. With over a 45 minutes of intense searching, I was only able to locate 10 “pages” of which to become a “fan.” Pretty sad, especially considering that about half of these (I’m talking about the Apple ones) are pretty likely to be fake pages created by some random guy or girl on Facebook. Here’s what I’ve got:


Does Facebook have any sort of verification process for these pages? How do they know that I’m not authorized to create the MySpace page?

And are they going to make these pages easier to find? Or will companies have to pay for this “privilege?”

Can you find more companies? Become my friend and I’ll be able to see them, or just post your list in the comments.

If you’ve got a company or product on Facebook, let me know in the comments and I’ll be your fan. Definitely.
