There has been much speculation about the New Timeline Page Features for Facebook this week, and I have had many emails and enquiries regarding the changes, so I thought I would do a few blog posts on my opinons of the positives of Timeline for Pages on Facebook. The feature I like the most, is the new message feature. A message Button is displayed on the top right of your timeline, just below your cover picture. (See Example Below) NB: Only those pages that have changed over to timeline will have this feature. How The Message Button Works: Users or visitors of your page simply click on the Message button (displayed on the top right of your timeline page) and are then taken to another screen where they can type a message to the page owner. There is also the option of adding a file or photo attachment. (See Below) When Page owners open their business page on Facebook, they are now greeted with the Admin Panel automatically displayed above their timline page. This is where Admins can check their insights etc and also where they check their messages. The message section is located on the top right hand side of the admin panel. (See Below) Depending on your Facebook Settings, not only will you find your Page messages in the Admin Panel, but you should also receive an update by email to notify you of such messages. With such a great option that is available for free, I do wonder if the Contact Tabs will be no longer needed for Facebook Pages? The Contact Tabs however still provide fantastic links to all of the other social media accounts the page has, so I think the Contact Tab still has its place on Facebook Pages for the time being.
Until Next Time....

Hi Michelle, Thank you for your reply. While it has taken a little while to get used to, I do think there are a lot more benefits with the new FB timeline layout than previously offered. It always takes a while to adjust to the changes though with anything and FB likes to keep us on our toes! Thanks again, Judi.

Hi Dana, thanks for your comment. I don't have anything else to add to the rumours at this stage, but will be sure to keep everyone updated as soon as I hear anything concrete. Facebook likes to keep us all on our toes,the new privacy option on the top right was enough to freak a few people out I noticed this week!! Have a great Christmas.
