In the past few weeks Facebook rolled out a few small but interesting features. We covered them here for a collective information for you.
Edit Your Posts
How often you posted something on yours or others wall in a hurry, only to regret the typos or the err that you did. The only option then was to delete the post and redo it. And it was the same with comment posting as well. It was more of a problem when someone in your network already commented on your post, you didn't have any option but to either leave the mistake as is or loose the comments as you deleted the post. Well not anymore, as Facebook introduced the option to edit the post or comment.
Those of you who are on Google plus would (most probably) be familiar with this one. The only different thing is that once someone comments on your post, you will not be as lucky. So be quick or else you wont have another chance! Whatever prompted the social network giant to do the changes, this is an interesting page that might have had a hand ;)
Promote Your Posts
For fan and business page owners reach is always an important ting to be monitoring. How they wish there was something they could do on this. Admins be happy now as Facebook has provided a feature which could be of use here.
Facebook launched a service that now will allow you to promote your posts, thee by increasing the reach of your items. The only limit is that your page should have at least 400 likes. If you choose to promote a post, you can choose the budget that it will carry. Based on your budget the reach of that post will be calculated. Each fan page will have a different set of budgets and based on that the reach.
Apart from the regular pay option, you could also choose a coupon f you are in possession of one. Also your promoted posts stay in promotion for 3 days since the post was created. They will show up in the normal news feed and will be visible to friends of your fans once they interact with the promoted post.
As far as the metrics are concerned, you will be able to see how many people saw your promoted posts and how (organic, viral or paid). For any more details on the promoted feeds head to the Facebook Help Center page for Promoted Posts.
Mini Profile on Fan Pages
Well we are not sure if this has been around for a while & we missed it or this is a new look to the mini profiles on the fan pages. While on the Facebook fan or business pages, you can see a very nice mini profile as you hover over the names; yours or anyone who interacted with your posts on your page. Here is a look for you:
Although there isn't enough relevant information about the profile on the mini version, but it does look a little cute card representation, whats say?
