Timeline Coming to Fan Pages February 29

COULD IT BE?

It could become an exciting date for brands and businesses if the latest Facebook rumors are true!

 

Timeline.pngBusiness Insider is reporting that Facebook is in the process of launching Timeline for Brand pages and that an official announcement will be made on February 29th, when Facebook holds its invitation only Facebook Marketers Council.

With the company making all users switch over to the new timeline format, the next potential step is to allow brand pages access to the same features. Considering the story-line style look of Timeline, companies will have different opportunities for engaging with their audience if the new format comes.

One source told Business Insider that, “Facebook pushed back the launch of Timeline for brands to the end of February….Those two pieces of information [the council and the pushing back of Timeline for brands] are too much of a coincidence.”

The obvious big new feature of Facebook’sTimeline is the cover photo, but factors like the left-right presentation of posts and status updates, the chronological element of Timeline and the ability to find past moments or posts and highlight them on your wall, will certainly feature in the strategy of all social media marketers.

TabSite is staying tuned on any and all news in the Facebook developer areas and connections within Facebook to see what options there will be and how TabSite can be ready to assist our community with tools to work with Timeline.
