Facebook Features - Tech Billion

HOW TO: Use Facebook’s New Promote Feature?

Facebook has just introduced a new feature called Promote. It’s a paid facility with which you can promote posts and bump your important news, links, and photos higher in the news feed.

This feature is very simple and very promising for all the companies that are involved in Social Media Marketing. The payment for this service happens via Facebook credits, which you can earn or buy using real money.

All you have to do is publish a post on Facebook and click on Promote Link near share. The promoted post will be marked at the top of your news feed. This way, you do not have to share the same post again and again.

Facebook seems to be learning the lessons the hard way, but it’s a good way of increasing revenues for Facebook, and good NEWS even for Facebook shareholders.

People who do not want to avail this service have to make sure they understand the demographics of its fans and plan scheduled posts, but all this also involves cost, so why not use this simple feature instead?

Facebook updates its Photo Gallery, making it less boring

Facebook has updated its Photo Gallery with a better-looking layout and a more intuitive user interface. Facebook’s last update was highly criticized, but things look a little better now.

The features create equally-sized thumbnails of each photo in your photo album, and look good if you have a good album to look upon. Also, the photo navigation has slightly improved.

TIP:
I am not sure if you are aware of this trick, but you can use the keyboard arrow keys to scroll through your photos in a particular album instead of using your mouse and clicking next or previous to navigate.
