The New Facebook Timeline Rolls out this Week

Are you ready for more changes? The new Facebook Page timeline rolls out this week.  It reminds us that everything old is new again.  The new Facebook Timeline for Business Pages looks similar to the original Facebook Page, but there are a few things you may need to change to make sure you are taking full advantage of the new layout.   Take a peek at some of the elements of the new pages timeline.  During my research for “How to Market and Promote Your Book using Facebook” e-book, I came across Tom Clancy’s facebook Page.  Notice where the about box is and the custom app tabs.  The timeline is in a clear row on the right and the boxes that appeared at the top of the page are now on the left.  Notice the links in the about box are no longer clickable (big bummer).  But the web site is displayed right under the about box.   The custom apps are no longer as prominent.  If you have more then one custom app, the last button will say “more” (another bummer).

Guy Kawaski’s page has multiple custom apps – as shown below.

The upside to the changes are easier navigation for the admins and a great floating bar that asks you to like the page if you have not already.

The admin tabs are cleaner and easier to look through. Has your page been converted yet?  Share your thoughts.
