Joseph: In my view, the new Facebook Timeline is the best improvement to date from Mark Z and his team. With every change there is often some learning and experimenting needed to fully appreciate the value and worthiness of the change. The boldly positioned cover photo is unique and opportunistic. It really affords users with ability to be creative, artsy and/or much more communicative. And isn’t that the nature and benefit of Facebook and other social media anyway? Tim
Thanks for the note, Tim. With the news this last week that brands will now have the same format on their timelines, I’m excited to see how the best-of-the-best respond. You’re spot-on when you say the nature of Facebook (Social) is to push creative and communicative boundaries.
Cheers friend, and thanks again for stopping by!
