In connection with the relaunch of Facebook Pages, Buddy Media has started a new program to help brands bolster their sites on the social network.

The New York-based company, which specializes in developing and distributing branded applications, outlined services to help marketers capitalize on planned changes to Facebook Pages announced last week.

Through the overhaul, Facebook Pages will more closely resemble individual member profiles and companies will be able to share information with fans more easily. Buddy Media promises to do everything from designing a company page to building customized apps within sites to moderating comments appearing on the "wall" of a page.
