If
you consider popularity as the main deciding factor, there’s no other social
networking site as big as Facebook. Facebook’s popularity is equal among people
of every age group and speaking different languages. This social networking
site is in use in all parts of the world wherever internet is accessible. There
are few people who do not like staying hooked on Facebook for chatting, making
friends, getting in touch with old pals or checking profiles of celebrities. If
you are a Facebook member, you must know how easy it is to find people with
whom you had no contact for years using Facebook.
In
December, 2011, the moderators of Facebook decided to change the layout of
Facebook wall. This new profile is named as Facebook Timeline. When this change
was first introduced, many thought that the users will not welcome the change
wholeheartedly. However, things turned out to be absolutely different. The
Facebook users fell in love with this new profile format within just a few
days.
The
most promising change brought in by Facebook Timeline is the Facebook profile
covers. What Facebook profile covers are? The best definition of Facebook
profile covers would be: images displayed right at the Facebook timeline’s top.
This cover photo will be visible publicly. This means, even if you have kept
your profile protected from public viewing, any visitor coming to your Facebook
profile will be able to view your Facebook profile cover. Before the launch of
Facebook timeline, unauthorized viewers could only view the profile picture of
Facebook users. In the new set up, the profile picture stays right on the left
corner of the cover image.
What
are the uses of Facebook profile covers? These profile covers can be used intelligently for
conveying important messages. Suppose, you are supporting a cause like ‘breast
cancer awareness’; you can use the image of a related banner as your profile’s
cover photo. This will allow people visiting your profile to know about the
cause you are supporting and you will be able to inspire many more to support
the same cause. Many people are also using their Facebook profiles for
promotion of their businesses. Use photos related to the services and products
offered by your company and you will surely experience certain level of success
with your business.
