Most Facebook users experienced a difference on their personal profiles with a newly introduced Timeline (September 2011). The timeline takes your profile one step ahead and recreate it to a biographical flow chart. Most users have switched to the timeline & it became compulsory from end of October.

TODAY facebook stepped up to implement the same feature to their business pages (Basically calls as Fan pages). So the change will not surprise brand, public figures, athletes or any other product or organization.

Finally Facebook exclusively made an official announcement today and given the option to administrators of pages to check the new appearance and options. It's all yours- Brands can recreate their fanpages to promote their goods, services, announcements etc, in detail & organized. Fans privilege to findout activities through the timeline.

Note: All fanpages will be converted to the new layout by 31st of March and it's better to try new layout to get things identify.

This is what I saw when I open the fanpage link. ( Subject: Sri Lanka Cricket & Sports News) Surprised with the notice.

Then It change in to timeline view with a option of adding a cover picture. :D

Worst thing is fans may not notice which are the features we offer since tabs are hidden (pined) while featured tabs appear on the dashboard.

Mentions, Links, Likes user posts and also pages you like will see properly.

Note: Use the cover page to get most out of it. Hammer with what we have good & ignore what we lost. Mark Zuckerberg will never change his implementations if they not failed.
