New Facebook Fan Page Features and Layout Changes
- For all intents and purposes you are now signed in as your Facebook fan page instead of your personal profile. Any updates or likes will be attributed to your page.
- The much awaited notifications feature is finally active. Once signed in as your page, you will be able to see page notifications instead of personal ones. You will also receive notifications via email. Select account settings, then scroll down to pages and click on ‘Change email settings for individual Pages’. Select the pages you want to receive email notifications for. I would personally keep this on for important business pages as you do not want to miss out on customer communiqués.
- Tabs (info, wall, photos, etc) have gone in the left hand margin.
- Photo strip similar to the one on your personal profile has been added. Makes one wish there was an option to remove this as the photo strip may end up having random photos shown out of context.
- People who like the page have been moved to the top bar, right before the notifications icon.
- Notifications icon displays page notifications for your pages. These are shown even when you switch to your personal profile.
- Your favorite pages have moved under Likes in the left margin.
- There is a recommended pages section in the right hand margin which tells you how many of your Facebook fans like those pages.
These are some of the main changes. While some are welcome like the much awaited notifications feature, others will take some time getting used to.
What are your thoughts on the new page features and layout?
