    I was thinking earlier today that with the limited number of tabs we can now have for apps, why not use of of them for a ”More Apps” type page that would list all of them with clickable links.

    Any ideas?

    @annfurnivall – I use a mini-web type of page. If you click on any of my custom pages, they have a menu navigation system that goes to the others so they are all connected. So, I just need to have my Welcome custom tab at the top and whatever other two I want to highlight. What do you think of this method? My page can be viewed at http://www.facebook.com/fbsmarty – And if you want to LIKE to it, my thanks!

    You can put your tabs under the Apps area, I haven’t seen a limit. You can move them around so the ones you want showing can be on the first line shown. You can also make a “Welcome” post with link to your welcome tab a pinned post and it can stay at the top of your post if you prefer that method.

    @michellefontaine  your  menu  navigation system  looks  great….how  hard its it to do? …were  your links  to other,older posts on   your  facebook page?   that  could  be  real handy  too….  i like your  graphics for the links…so  clear…

    also   wondering….can  you put  your  website  as a link in  one of  your  tabs?

    @michellefontaine  I like your welcome page idea.  That way you can direct people to whatever you want.  Thanks for the ideas!

    @tracourt

    I think would be wise to focus on the four apps that show.  Judging by the overall lethargy of people, I think that people will not spend the extra time searching through the apps unless they are very intrigued.  No matter how innovative the actual layout will or can be, the majority of time spent on Facebook is dominated by the newsfeed.

    I agree with you @nelsonta to a point–simple is best, but I’m willing to give up a primary tab for a great welcome page a la @michellefontaine for those wishing to learn more about my business. Just think I’ll come up with a different name than Welcome. 

    Sure glad I have a few weeks to figure all this out.

    Thanks everyone for your insights… have a terrific weekend.

    Being an FB novice (I almost never go there) I don’t understand a lot of what’s what with the new timeline. I tweeted the articles you nice folks have mentioned after scanning them. Now need to go back; read; learn.

    Thanks to all!  :D
