Facebook appears to be on the verge of launching a new design of its Fan Pages. This change seems to include the site’s location-based Places checkin functionality, enabling “likers” of the page to check in to it. Although
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is said to be giving a sneak peak at the new Profile Pages design on 60 Minutes tonight, it seems that more change is in store; you can already see the new Pages design in action on select pages, such as Ellen DeGeneres’s Fan Page. On Ellen’s page, you will notice a count for the number of checkins the Page has. According to Facebook spokesperson Meredith Chin, the Ellen Page is a merged page that includes the functionality for checkins available shortly after the feature launched a few months ago. Basically, your brand page will then take on the Places page designs, which appears to be the inspiration for the new profile pages that are to be released as well.
“As long as the address of the official page and the place page match, it should show you a prompt and ask you if you want to merge them,” Chin said.
You can see screenshots of the new design below.
Current Pages Design -----------------
The current Pages design, similar to Profile Pages, has the Page navigation tabs (Wall, Questions, Photos) at the top.
New Pages With Checkins
The new Pages design includes checkins, profile information (which includes some basic information about the page and the Wall postings below it), a narrower left column and more.
New Tabs
The new Pages also feature the navigation tabs on the left-hand side.
