I just got this in an email today:
Facebook pages are getting an updated layout and several new features to help you engage with your fans. Here’s some of what you’ll be getting:
• Notifications when fans interact with your page or posts• A place to showcase photos along the top of your page• A news feed for your page• The ability to Like and post on other pages as your pagePreview your page and you’ll be given the option to upgrade early. All pages will automatically be upgraded on March 10.
These are some much needed improvements and if you haven’t ever built a page I would recommend giving it a shot by going here to start the process and look for the create page button which is in the top right.
I am not sure why it has taken so long for the notification piece, but I am very excited about being able to get those notifications which will increase the ability to interact. Being able to post as a business should be interesting as well as you will be able to interact on a B2B level now with other pages.
AGREED!! Very exciting 🙂 Now if only it would let you control the photos displayed at the top! I’m assuming that it’s the most recently added album, any ideas about that one?
Ha ha…of course as soon as I post, I figured it out 🙂 You can ‘hide’ by rolling over the photo and clicking the ‘x’ on your profile page and therefore control the images that show up on the biz page – yea!!
Thanks for the tip Wendy. I hadn’t picked up on that one yet.
