Facebook Timeline for business is now here and if you haven’t already updated and published you don’t worry. You will be forced to on March 30, 2012!

There are a number of really nice changes besides the fact that your business page now has the same timeline format as your personal page does if you decided to make that change. So what is different?

• The dashboard at the top (for admins) gives you quick access to the most important things – to see who has commented and who has recently “Liked” you.
• You can now send messages to a “Page” and those show up on the top right in the dash board.
• You can now customize the “Tab” icons (some of them) that show up just below the cover and you can rearrange them.
• Now that you have the “Timeline” layout you can mark significant events in your company’s history the same way you can on your personal timeline.

   I was reading yesterday that the FB timeline is very bad for businesses. But what you’re sharing doesn’t make it seem that way to me.

   People are resistant to change and often times people like to comment negatively about something because it gets attention. Timeline or any aspect of any social media platform can’t be “bad for business.” Failure to embrace these things and think of creative ways to use them is bad for business!

   Hi Seth I enjoyed watching your video and have setup a page for my business. However I’m still trying to figure out how to invite only certain friends of my personal page to LIKE my business page. Also, when I read an article on the internet and I wish to share it with others on my business page for some reason when I click share it gets posted to my personal page. I don’t understand why that happens. Any suggestions?

   Thanks !
