Facebook unveiled the much-anticipated “Timeline” for Pages yesterday, the biggest change since February 2011. Let’s take a look at the new changes and what it means for Facebook subscribers:

Timeline

As the name suggests, Pages will now be able to add milestones, which are similar to life events on personal profiles. It provides more opportunities for brands to post historical content, while providing a new experience.

1. Contact information
2. Product or service pricing
