In December 2011, the Facebook Timeline became worldwide and it’s no secret that not everyone was thrilled by it. This new-ish feature has definitely taken some flack and from time to time, you may still see a post popping up in your newsfeed expressing the dislike. The two core reasons for the disapproval of the Timeline can usually be attributed to the resistance of change and the lack in understanding how to use it.
One common expressed frustration is in how posts have become more clumped together and less visible to other Facebook users. This has displeased many business owners who have a Facebook page, and rightfully so. Since the key goals of why companies use Facebook is to engage with customers, receive traffic, referrals, and generate sales; having status updates or posts unseen is not an option. Learning all the new changes that happen frequently on this popular social network can be difficult to undertake, especially when you do not know how or where to get started.

Customers are constantly learning new ways of introducing themselves to businesses using social networking sites like, Facebook or Twitter. Many consumers turn to these social networks to find information about specific products and/or services before making a purchase. However, the reason why they are turning to these sites and how they find out about your business may surprise you.
Too many companies still believe that if they set up an account on several social networks, then the customers will come. There is definitely more to it than that. First, a great many potential customers will go to their social profile or account to find recommendations from peers about your company. Many wonder what their friends or friends of friends have been saying about your brand. If interested in what has been said, customers will then turn to your business page within the social networking site. Once there, potential customers will then examine how much interaction has been happening within that page and for how long. Although, this may not be intentional and most likely done subconsciously, most people still do it.
