Facebook's new timeline not good news for bands
News: 11th April 2012 by Louise Dodgson under Artist Managers, Creative & Branding, Media
As Facebook make their tweaks to the new look timeline mandatory, it seems it hasn't had the desired impact so far for those bands and musicians that have already previewed it before it went live. The main problem seems to be that bands can no longer select their default Facebook landing point for visitors to their page, meaning that add-on apps with the intention of promoting current releases, mailing list sign ups and so on are now more hidden away.
Digital Music News has gathered stats regarding hits on band pages utilising Facebook's new timeline and unfortunately things are really on a downer. Take a look for yourselfvia the links below...
