- 6. More Opportunities for Expression We are also very excited to introduce new products for Pages to more fully express who they are. We recently launched a new Profile design, to give users more ways to share their stories with people they care about. Now, Page owners will benefit from many of the same enhancements. Starting today, Pages will be able to feature photos of their most recent experiences at the top of the Page. Similar to how users can select to feature family members and other important connections, Pages will be able to select Pages that they Like to always appear in the left hand column. Lastly, Pages can choose to feature who is managing the Page. These new products will provide Pages with more opportunities for self-expression and a consistently engaging experience across the site.

- 7. Improved Relevancy Finally, we are very excited to announce some new features to make Pages even more engaging and relevant to people who visit your Page. The new “Everyone” filter on the Wall provides a way for users to see the most interesting posts first—including posts from their friends, your Page and other fans. When viewing your Page, the “admin view” filter on the left column of your Page’s Wall allows you to see hidden posts (spam and posts containing words on your Blocklist) and unhide to move them back to the “Everyone” view so more people can see those posts. Mutual Friends and Interests We’ve also created a place for people to discover the friends and interests they have common with your Page, all in the top right corner of the Page, just like Profiles. These improvements will provide Page owners with greater ability to manage their conversations with fans and relevant pages, express who they are, and enhance interactions. We plan to develop more products and functionality for Pages owners over the course of the coming months. “Everyone” Wall Filter and Blocklist ? 2011 Facebook, Inc. All rights reserved.
