Fan Pages Move From FBML to iFrames March 11 – TabSite Ready!

Facebook Fan Pages received a makeover this week!

All pages will move to the new format on March 10.

One of the major changes announced to page admins is the fact that FBML apps, and the code language of FBML as a whole, will be deprecated – which means it will no longer be a code that is utilized and accepted on the Facebook platform.  Instead, they are moving to iFrames as the core for all tab apps.

The deadline given by Facebook is March11th.

And starting March 11th, you will no longer be able to create new FBML apps for your Facebook Fan Pages, including the Static FBML App.

Existing FBML apps will continue to work as normal for the near future (including Static FBML apps), you just won’t be able to create any new FBML apps.  This is significant as thousands of people have used Static FBML and while they will work now, there is clear potential that Facebook will stop allowing even previously created ones at some point, forcing everyone to move to iFrames.

What does iFrames mean for TabSite?

This is where the news gets real exciting!  TabSite is iFrame ready!

In place of the limited code language of FBML, we’ll get full HTML, javascript, and iFrame capabilities for customizing a Facebook Fan Page.

This means TabSite will be able to roll out new features without limitations imposed by Facebook!

All TabSite accounts will continue to work with no issues!  So, if you have a Static FBML App, we encourage you to check-out TabSite as a great alternative.  Our iFrame launch is just around the corner and beyond that we have some great new tools coming this spring.

Expect new and more features from TabSite after March 11 when the change happens!

TabSite – iFrame ready and a great alternative to Static FBML
