The New Facebook Timeline Layout Improving Non-Profits

By March 30, 2012, all Facebook pages will be required to update their pages to the new Timeline layout. However, many non-profit organizations, such as Amnesty International, Goodwill Industries International Inc., and Greenpeace, have already taken the initiative to upgrade their pages to the new format. This new format allows Non-Profits to maximize strong first impressions, as well as customize their applications. 

To updgrade your page to the Timeline format, simply go to this link, http://www.facebook.com/about/timeline, and click "Get Timeline". Once upgraded, you will have 7 days before anyone else can see it. This gives you a chance to get your Timeline looking the way you want before other people see it. Facebook will also allow you to take a guided tour to learn how to personalize and set up your page.
