facebook changing up the fan pages

looks like fan pages are going through some changes the sidebar has dissapeared

anyone heard what they are doing or is it just general maintenance?

 

Yes, it is. Facebook change "Become a fan" into "Like".

i read it somewhere before
i think to encaurage user to engage more with the fan page

 

i don't like it

 

hmmm i hope it works out okay my intial thoughts are, i dont like it either!

 

I think it's gonna work

 

ya...may be its going to change...but we can not do anything....we all have to change with facebook...

 

I havent been on today to check...I imagine there'll be the usual outrage & then it'll all be good

 

don't like it

 

Don't like, but maybe we will use to it later

 

I don't really like those changes to the fan pages, maybe it's because there are too many marketers setting up bogus pages that don't really add value/contribute to facebook in general! LOL

 

I also don't like those changes, why facebook always make changes that a mostly disliked by lots of users....?

 

Im not seeing the changes here! Could it be they are bringing it in in phases (im in the UK)? Would someone take a screen shot?

thanks

 

yeah i see a few changes. oh well i guess there isnt much we can do about it

 

Just as with everything in life, changes can be rather shocking and hard to accept in the beginning. But just wait, soon enough we will all be praising the changes.

 

thanks for this

 

Facebook has gone through a lot of modification recently.

 

looks they changed become a fan to just a like button

nice addition

 

I am pleased with the replacement of the become a fan button with the like button. I think Facebook is right that it will create a higher rate of conversions. Become a fan might seem too strong and the like button is less aggressive.

 

100% agree with your points. People are more tend to like something rather than admire the same by becoming fan or something on the same line. This is the right way to increase the participation level among the users and fan pages.
