    Thanks for the info!

    I’m curious to see how switching to a “timeline” format will affect the fan pages which have been modified/customized using Pagemodo, etc.

  • I’m so excited to see this! I think the page will be more user friendly and easier to get your point across. People with special tabs should check their Facebook page to make sure all tabs are still accessible and usable.

    i think custom landing pages should not be disturbed due to new time line but we can get another BIG SPACE as a cover photo to make it like a BIG Announcement for our business. and we can put creative banners on it. 

    lets see when we are going to see it LIVE.

  • @rlmosca Thank you for the information! I have been wondering about this for a while and we were debating when it may happen in other posts. I am also curious about how custom tabs may be affected by the change. I was working on doing the “Welcome” landing pages for each business page we run but I think I may hold off for now so I will be able to truly optimize when the business pages have the timeline.

    @andrea-vahl you may want to check out the article as well since we have been wondering about this!

  • Just hope the custom landing pages and tabs will still be workable.  I hate the thoughts of re-doing all those pages!  Just when I had fully optimized the landing strip.LOL…….Change is good, right?  Yeah – I had heard the end of February.   It will be nice if they roll it out slowly.  Thanks @rlmosca

  • @rlmosca thanks mosca,  @warrenveach @amyhallbiz @ijazrafi @ndonelly @alexandrabriggs

    do you think facebook will roll out timeline for pages before it completely rolls out timeline to profiles, I mean at the current juncture timeline is optional and from my point of view, it will be made compulsory for all profiles before they do it with pages. Reference


  • @moinshaikh – but isn’t timeline compulsory for profiles by the end of this month?   Then they will probably do optional conversion of pages initially starting 2/29 (we’ll all need the extra day this year to redo profile pictures and create banner pictures.  I still think the current version works best for businesses.  Having the ability to show5 photos in the strip gave you the option to show 5 categories or 5 products or whatever.  Now you’ll have to coordinate the same info into one picture….

  • @ndonelly, actually i have no official confirmation, may be you are right, with the month end they might make it a day for current profile structure. And yes, for pages, the present one is better with your points and in the point of welcome page/landing page. I don’t know whether fan only content concept will be there or not, also if timeline is implemented on page, we will need to see what will happen to tabs on the page.

  • Look at this what Mari Smith saying about it
