The ideal dimensions to make sure the thumbnail size shows properly is: 970px by 680px. This is an extremely handy feature when viewing photos in the News Feed, on anyone’s Profile or Page, etc. Each photo throughout the entire Facebook platform can now easily be viewed in a popup lightbox so you can see enlarged pictures, scroll back and forth, like/comment and never lose your place on Facebook. We saw a sneak peek of this lovely feature back in December. Hm.)Ĭontinue reading for my magical marketing tip, though! New Photo Viewer Lightbox Perhaps so we can’t quite fully add a custom banner. (I’m not entirely sure why Facebook included the randomize feature. So, creating a sequential five-photo banner won’t quite work. I refreshed Tim’s Page umpteen times and still couldn’t get the images to spell HyperArts. In the example above, Tim Ware at HyperArts Web Design mentions in the main Page image that they know the order is random. With each visit/refresh, the photos randomize.
However, the photos do not stay in the same order (unlike Profiles). What’s really cool is, just like your personal profile, you can get creative and use this valuable real estate for branding, special offers, tips, etc. To remove a photo from the display, mouseover and click the “x”. Photos loaded by your fans and other Pages will not appear in this display. Your five most recently uploaded Page photos are displayed at the top and will change any time you load new photos. This new feature is identical to the new Profile design. Go here to view all your Pages, check out the new layout with the Preview button first, then Upgrade. This post covers two features I’m very excited about, as they have a distinct marketing advantage: the five-photo strip at the top of Pages (similar to Profiles) and the new Photo Viewer lightbox.įirst, I strongly recommend that if you have not yet upgraded your Page, you need to dive in and do so right now! 🙂 All Pages will automatically be upgraded next month anyway.

#Facebook viewer update
In the vast majority of cases, this would be harmless, but could get weird, and again, if you had any serious concerns about unwanted exposure, you could keep your Stories private.īut it could also reduce insight for brands, which could limit your research capacity, if it does indeed get expanded to all Stories types.Īs noted, we’ve asked Facebook for more information, and we’ll update this post if/when we hear back.The recent Facebook Page upgrades unveiled some of the most complex features we’ve seen on the platform yet. It could also increase psychological harm by showing you past acquaintances that are keeping tabs on you through your Stories updates.ĭoes it make sense to just cut that data off? I mean, I guess. I’d assume that’s what Facebook is looking to avoid, those potentially awkward circumstances where someone is checking out your content which might make you feel uncomfortable, even though there’s no ill-intent on the part of the viewer. But it does seem like Facebook’s looking to avoid potential angst by letting people know who, specifically, has checked out their Stories content.īut people should know, right? There’s value in knowing who exactly is seeing what you post – but then again, if your new colleague is checking out your holiday snaps, maybe that’s a little weird, and maybe it could make things strange at work, even though it’s a relatively harmless action. Why Facebook is looking to make the change we don’t know – we reached out to Facebook for more info on the test, but they didn’t get back to us at the time of publication. If you want to share something that you don’t want potential stalkers to see, keep it among ‘Friends only’.īut then again, it does feel a little uneasy. Which sounds like Facebook is looking to enable subtle stalking – though, of course, people who you’re not connected to on the platform are only able to view Stories that you’ve made public, so it’s not creepy, as such.
