Facebook "Interest Links"

As you may or may not know, now you can make "Interest Links" on your facebook page. It's basically a newsfeed of specific business pages and friend pages that you can set up on your own or follow a set of businesses in a certain category that other people are following. See more info on this Facebook Newsroom post: http://newsroom.fb.com/Announcements/Introducing-Interest-Lists-109.aspx

I've been brainstorming on ways to use this to my advantage to promote my business pages. I made a list up for "My Accessory Business" in the category "Jewelry Business"that included other similar top businesses in the same field and I posted links on their business pages letting them know, hoping to get a couple of followers. So far, no one has seemed to catch on and join my selected newsfeed after a week. Maybe people don't even know that they're there? Or maybe "Jewelry Business" is not a popular category. Either way. I wouldn't have known about these interest links if I hadn't come across the facebook newsroom blog post about it, so why would anyone else know about it? It's always good to jump on something early anyway and see if it takes off. So far, not so good... but over time, I guess I'll find out.
