Facebook is Start Rolling Out New Page Width

Wed, Aug 25, 2010

Facebook, Social Media

Caution, Facebook Page administrators: Facebook is set to begin rolling out narrower Page tabs today. The width of the tabs will be reduced from 720 pixels to 520.

The change was announced back in October 2009 but was delayed, presumably to let administrators prepare for the reduced tab width. Still, many popular Pages still use 760 pixel wide elements, which will look broken once Facebook  implements the change. A good example is this tab on the official Victoria’s Secret Facebook Page or Smashfit Fan Page here.

If your Page contains elements that are over 520 pixels wide, you should reduce them to that width as soon as possible.

    I own Top of Mind Marketing, and my client mantra is that social media is not going away. We’re moving away from dense websites and toward more comprehensive social media, newsletters and blogs. We’re also doing branded Facebook landing pages for our clients. They look and act like mini-websites and these are going to be big.
