The New Facebook Pages Layout

It seems like every time you turn around, Facebook is changing, constantly. Facebook's most recent change is converting all current Facebook Pages to a new layout. You may or may not have switched your page to the new layout, if you haven't...you have until next Tuesday, March 1st to do so, otherwise Facebook will do it for you. So what changes have been made to Facebook Pages?

Facebook pages now have a new layout, which resembles a Facebook profile very closely. Following is an overview of the changes:

  • Instead of tabs, users can use links to navigate around a page. The links are less restrictive then tabs because they allow for longer "tab titles."
  • There is now a photostrip on the top of each page. Five of the most recent pictures you either uploaded or were tagged in will be displayed across the top of your page. 
  • Pages can now like other pages!
  • You can now feature page administrators/owners on your page.
  • Admins can now use Facebook as a page - they can post and comment around the site under their page.
  • You can see a news feed from the pages that you like.
  • Facebook provides recommendations for pages you might like.
Examples of the new features of Facebook Pages.
