Facebook Upgrading Fan Pages To Look Like Profile Page
By on February 10th, 2011

is busy rolling out another UI change, this time though it is for Fan pages on Facebook (become our Fan). The new Facebook Fan page UI is basically similar to the Facebook profile page changes which was hated by many users.

Facebook Fan Page Update

Facebook has been making a lot of changes to their UI recently which includes removing suggest fan page to friends feature, adding spam filter to pages and reducing the tab width of fan pages among other things.

The new fan pages are similar to profile pages with the navigation moved to the left had side, recent photos displayed at the top of the page, a new wall filter for displaying wall posts, more tighter integration with the rest of Facebook and new options in Settings.

I find the UI of the new fan page really ugly and it is definitely something that I won’t want to switch to. Unfortunately, the upgrade will be rolled out to all users whether they want it or not.

What do you think about the new Facebook Fan page design? Do you love it or hate it? Do let me know through your comments.

Update: You can read about the new Facebook Fan page update in this note posted by Facebook.

    I recently creaated a fan page and the recommend to friends option was not working. In addition, people have been having issues once they find my page liking it. I am wondering if all these changes going on has something to do with it. I haven’t seen the new layout, but it sounds like I will not like it at all. Everytime FB changes the format, it’s usually worse than the previous format!

    The most annoying part of this “upgrade” to me is the way it has reorganized all the wall posts. To get around that I had to change my wall settings to “only posts by page.” Of course if my fans (oh can I take a minute to say how much I hate the whole “like” over “fan” thing?) click on the Everyone tab then see the disorganized posts. Ugh.
