Mashable: Converting a Facebook profile to a Facebook page

Mashable is reporting on something that will come in very handy to anyone who has created a personal Facebook ‘profile’ rather than a ‘page’ for a newspaper, news website or other organisation: a Facebook profile can now be converted to a page.
Though the terminology is often muddled, a key difference between the two features is that users can simply “like” a Page while they must “friend” (establish a mutual relationship with) a profile, which makes Pages a much better solution for businesses and public figures.
Using Facebook’s new tool any ‘Friends’ from a profile will be transferred to become ‘fans’ of the new page.
