Another Change Rolling Out On Facebook

Jan 18, 2013 by Tiffany Litherland

As the new year rolls out and the year of the “Social Engagement” surge slows to a low rumbling lull an announcement is made that puts us marketers back on our toes. Once again it’s Facebook.

Apparently the ‘cry’ of the masses about the new 2 column timeline layout, that apparently nobody liked when it first hit our screens, will be changed to a single column layout once again; only this time it will look like a mini-site, a landing page with navigation menu, and some new features coming soon.

So with a supposed new and improved timeline coming to our screens very soon will the masses ‘cry’ out once again or will this one make the majority happy? Who knows! What we do know is that there are still plenty of small businesses and start-ups in need of help on how to use their social platforms, and the storm the blew through last year only caused confusion and frustration. The tides of changes have shifted everything around and sales & marketing is once again all about conversation and getting personal with the people.

So we want to know from you when you get the new Timeline layout and what you think about it? In the meantime take a look below for a quickie view from someone already in the know!!!

The legendary Mari Smith (Facebook’s Very Own Guru) revealed today that Facebook has been testing this new layout since October 31st, and now it is being rolled out with her profile being one of the first to change. You can visit Mari’s blog and see the new layout, and other changes, for yourself here: Facebook Begins Rollout of Single Column Timeline. Here is a snippet view!!!
