New! Facebook Timeline Features

Facebook has rolled out it's new Timeline layout and it's a quantum leap forward for organizations using Facebook for promotion. It gives us a big graphical area for clever branding as well as enhanced ways to attract and interact with the people we are here to serve. Here are some of the highlights:

• Cover Photo: It's big! And it should be a high quality, appealing graphic that communicates your brand image. There are some limits as to what the Cover photo can contain, but overall it's a great opportunity. 
• Improved Custom Views: This is a biggie! Custom tabs used to be reached via the small icon/menu items on the left below your profile photo. Custom Tabs - now called Views - can now be reached via a row of thumbnails at center screen and the graphics are editable! You can make one a button with a call to action, make another a link to join your mailing list, or even just do something fun with them. Huge improvement and one to think creatively about. 
• Larger Stories, Milestones, and Page Timeline: The new layout allows you to tell stories through bigger photos and milestones that can include dates, locations and other content. There are zillions of clever ways to highlight your organization using these features. Zillions!
• Pinned Posts: This is cool, now we can pin a post to keep it at the top of a Page for up to seven days. This is great if you're running a promotion or advertising an event and want to keep it front & center.
• Admin Panel: The Admin panel is new too and it gives you great at-a-glance access to things like analytics and other common admin features. The Show/Hide toggle is nifty too. 
• Activity Log: As your page's Admin you can now see all of your Page activity and there are easy to use tools to  highlight, hide and/or delete posts. You can even change the date of a post easily now.
