Facebook is testing another tool for page administrators that at first glance looks like a reinstatement of something previously available: the ability to exchange private messages with members of the social network, with a couple of twists not available previously.
New Zealand is the site of the long-awaited debut of Facebook’s timeline profile.
Facebook wants to know if you have any questions for its Global Marketing Solutions team, and is prompting page administrators to that effect on their homepages.
Facebook Insights are getting more insightful, adding a new metric that displays negative feedback on posts.
Facebook events were on the receiving end of another tweak: The event page now includes a rectangular box directly under the event details, with a picture of the map of the event area in the background, and links to access an actual map or get directions to the site.
We like this enhancement to the events application and hope Facebook keeps it around. Readers, what do you think about this?
Many thanks to Eti Suruzon for the tip.
Late last month, Facebook introduced the ability for users with the new timeline profile to time-stamp their status updates. That capability has been extended to photos, as well.
Some 350 million people access Facebook via mobile devices every month, and the social network is now giving app developers the tools to tap that exploding market with its launch of Facebook Platform for mobile.
News feeds are showing people who’s reading what — but you can opt out of that, either by choosing not to share what you read, limiting what kinds of posts you get from different friends, or combinations thereof.
The extensive changes introduced by Facebook last week will have varying effects on just about every company that uses the social network for marketing purposes. How will application distributors cope?
You can’t stop the music, and neither can Facebook, as perhaps the most anticipated announcement to come out of Thursday’s f8 developers conference involves the social network’s potential plans for a music dashboard.
