Changes to Facebook Pages Coming August 23
Posted in Facebook, Social Media Marketing on August 17th, 2010 by Online Marketing – 11 CommentsFor every business, brand or personality with a dedicated page on Facebook, things are going to change on August 23. The changes are based on “feedback from developers,” according to a Facebook roadmap. There are several changes, two of which will impact your page dramatically.
The page width of custom application tabs will be reduced to 520 pixels. This means that any content outside of those boundaries will be automatically resized, and your custom content will no longer look the same. Review your content and view a preview, made available by Facebook to ease the transition.
If you implemented “Boxes” into your facebook page, or if you are planning on using them, come up with a plan B. Boxes will simply disappear as a part of this transition. Any content you distribute to profiles through boxes needs a new outlet.
