Facebook gets ride of "Fan" pages

Facebook announced today that they will discontinue the "fan" page option. They will now allow users to like certain brands or companies.

Facebook has yet to announce if they will completely take away fan pages, or if they will keep fan pages where it makes sense i.e. band or celebrity pages.
