I woke last Thursday to find Facebook had rolled out Timeline for Business Pages. Essentially the layout is much like Timeline for Profiles which I had already converted to so I wouldn’t be overwhelmed when they finally hit Pages. In no time, I received a flurry of emails, DMs, Facebook PMs from clients and contacts with queries and concerns about how the new Timeline might impact their Page.
