Is there currently the option to post to your Facebook company page instead of your personal profile page? I'd prefer my company updates to appear on my company's page.

Thanks for the questions.
Unfortunately at this time we can't connect your Thumbtack profile to your business account on Facebook. We've tried to work with Facebook on this, but unfortunately we understand from them that at this point we can only connect your personal site on Facebook to your Thumbtack account. We hope to be able to resolve this fairly soon - but at this point we just can't do it.
If you'd like, you can 'un-connect' your Thumbtack account from your Facebook page by logging in to your Thumbtack account and going here: http://www.thumbtack.com/profile/credentials
Aw man, that's a bummer. Let me know who to complain to in the facebook world in hopes to get this changed.
BTW, your picture looks just like Heather's.
Yeah, me too. I have created a Facebook page for my biz and would prefer to link that to my Thumbtack account. Please keep us posted.
I am unable to share my updates with facebook from this site. Do u know why I am having this problem and how can I fix it. I unlink from facebook and then relink to facebook with hopes that the problem would solve but it didnt. HELP!!! Marcella

Heather...any luck getting this changed so we can link to our Facebook Fan Pages?
We actually just had a meeting with Facebook about this last week. They are making a ton of updates right now on the way they handle small business listings - we'll be focusing more on our Facebook integration over the next few weeks, and this is definitely something we want to begin to offer.
Glad to hear there's interest here.
We'll let you know!

I like the FB link idea. Every little bit helps.
Any updates since October on facebook/pages integration?
Hi Rob,
Unfortunately none. We haven't yet done this.
We'll do this someday, but unfortunately it hasn't yet risen to the top of our priority list. There are only 8 of us here and 4 engineers... we've got a lot going on. We're expanding our team quickly though in the first few months of the year, which will hopefully give us some bandwidth to allow us to work on features like this.
