How will the latest Facebook changes affect me?
Currently, most people’s Facebook feeds are a jumble of status updates, likes, photos and comments from those you’re most interested in.
But that’s all about to change…
Last month, Facebook announced that they are streamlining their news feed, claiming that it will ‘reduce clutter’ and ‘bring stories to life’ by creating a more visual home page. You can sign up for the new look here (the changes will be rolling out over several months).
The changes in summary….
- Photo stories will be blown up to provide rich previews rather than small stories.
- The Facebook home page becomes a wider screen
- You’ll be able to choose from among several feeds dedicated to specific content, including music, friends, people and organisations you are following and photos.
- The mobile and desktop user interface are becoming similar, indicating the growing prominence of mobile devices
- Facebook ads will be made more prominent but there will be a new, easier-to-spot button to enable the user to hide the advert
As well all know, bullying is no longer just something which occurs in the playground, classroom or on a child’s journey to and from school. With the widespread use and acceptability of social media into all aspects of our lives, a new type of bullying has also evolved – namely cyber bullying.
It’s finally been announced! – the Facebook Timeline will be rolling out for Facebook business pages over the coming months. This will give your business the ability to showcase your history, events & content in a more visually attractive way.
