Facebook Pages App Has New Features

For those of us that rely heavily on the Facebook Pages App to manage multiple pages, the new features are a great addition. I personally manage 30+ accounts and depending on the time of year it can get pretty hectic, but I love it!

I had heard that some changes were coming to the Pages app but wasn’t aware that it would be pushed last night. I found out early this morning while running late for work. Not the best time to find out what was going on with the app as I had posts to attend to. Yes, we respond on behalf of our clients from early in the morning until late in the evening, and weekends to boot. Crazy, right?

I clicked that cute little flag and to find this:

 

So of course, I’m thinking ‘how do I get to all my notifications, I don’t have time to thumb through all this.’ I quickly discover that the notifications are now located in the top right on the world. What I was looking at was a snapshot of recent events. Kind of cool, once I figured out what was new and responded to the guest’s questions and interacted with guests that complimented us on our posts. But wait! There’s more!

I now see my latest engagements – if I’m in the red or green. After all, we do our best to keep those arrows up and in the green right? Not an easy task, that’s for sure!  I also like the fact that I can quickly click to see where all my recent mentions and shares are. But wait! There’s still more!

I used to just browse the feed and push the small boost button, which is not easy as everyone’s thumbs are bigger than that tiny button, mine included! I also like the fact that the button itself is bigger, because it is easier to see when I’m not wearing my glasses.

I’ll admit I was not happy about all the changes because it took me a whole 10 seconds to figure out what I needed to click in order to do my immediate job at that moment. Once I took care of my clients and took a few minutes to check out the new features, I was pleasantly surprised and happy. I think the Captevrix social media geeks will actually enjoy the changes.  After all, if you don’t enjoy changes, then marketing is not for you.
