New Faceboook Features Revealed by Mistake

December 17, 2010 by A2Z Computer Services Inc Leave a Comment

Yesterday afternoon many of may have noticed that Facebook went down for a short time. What you may not have seen however was Facebook’s accidental revealing of some of their new features. The features weren’t active for very long but many people, including us, had an opportunity to see the new features for a short time before Facebook went down.

After all of this took place yesterday afternoon Facebook tweeted “Also, some internal prototypes were exposed to people and resulted in us disabling the site briefly. It’s now back to normal.”

Below are a few of the new features that we were able to see and also have since read about for other various sources. If there are any features that you were able to experience yesterday please tell us about them in comment feed. Enjoy!

Facebook Pages

One of the biggest changes seen yesterday was the new layout for Facebook Pages. Instead of the tabbed navigation at the top of the page the menu had moved to the left column underneath the profile picture. This of course resembles the look of Facebook Places as well as the new profile layouts.

Another useful feature for many page admins that was seen is the Questions / Poll feature which will allow pages to run polls directly through Facebook as opposed to using comment feeds, third party applications or links back to your website. One change that people were unhappy with was the default landing tab setting for non-fans was gone. We believe however that this feature will still be available once the new Pages go live.

Page admins also had an option to “Switch Accounts” and “Login as Page”. The “Login as Page” option raises many questions for us such as whether or not this the page admins will finally be notified of new comments and likes as opposed to manually checking the page. We also wonder if page admins will have the ability to Message individuals as the page. These of course are just speculation but worth keeping in mind.

A Facebook spokesperson also stated that page admins were notified of the changes before they take effect. This is very comforting considering the time, money and energy businesses put into Facebook as part of their marketing and communication plan. All of us at A2Z Computer Services, Inc. personally cannot wait for that announcement to come out.

Pages weren’t the only ones to get a sneak peak at the new changes that will be coming to Facebook. Personal profiles saw new features such as Memories which will allow users to go back and photos, statuses and new friends grouped by years. The much anticipated lightbox UI for Facebook Photos was also seen and enjoyed by many for a short time.

What features are you either looking forward to or dreading the most?

Why we created a new Facebook page

December 16, 2010 by A2Z Computer Services Inc 1 Comment

If you “like” our page on Facebook there’s no doubt that you’ve seen a bunch of posts from us this week regarding our new page. Earlier this week we launched a new page for A2Z Computer Services, Inc. on Facebook because of some technical issues with our old page.

Don’t worry, these technical issues are not a virus or anything that will effect our fans on the page. When we originally created the page a long time ago we categorized the page incorrectly and didn’t have our “official” name as the page name. Instead of having the page categorized as “Local Business” we had it as a “Product / Service”. This is fine for some but in our case we were unable to have the phone number, address and hours fields. This also means that individuals viewing our page from their mobile phone couldn’t access our number, address and hours of operation.

Therefore we decided that even though we have a large number of fans and followers on our original Facebook page, the best solution would be to create a new page and migrate our connections from the original to this one. This isn’t the first time we’ve encountered this issue. We have gone through this process for various clients before as well.

It can be a hard choice to make this jump for some, but the choice to do so is often the right one. The process of notifying the current fans on your page to the new one can take time but patience is a virtue. Once our new page’s numbers are back up to where they should be and all of our fans on the old have had a chance to come to the new one we will delete the old page. Until then we will be updating both pages and and doing lots of promotion for the new page.

We appreciate everyone’s continued support and look forward to furthering our relationships that we have began on Facebook and other various social media outlets.

Nowadays more and more people are using iPhones, Blackberries, Androids and a multitude of other Smart Phone devices to not only make phone calls and send text messages but to read articles and blogs as well.

Please note that this is not the only way to keep up with the blogs that you follow. RSS readers are another great way to do just that, but this is simply another alternative. This also a great option to use if your favorite companies don’t have apps that you can download but you still want the app feel to it.
