Ever since Facebook updated its profile layout to the Timeline format, users have been slowly making the transition. We are slowly getting used to the new format but have found one cool feature that we think will win a lot of Facebook fans over. The coolest thing about the new Timeline profile is the ability to feature a personal photo in the “Cover Photo” section of the timeline.
Many users are taking full-advantage of this new feature by adding their own personal photos or downloading images direct from the web. By adding a cover photo to a Timeline profile, it really makes a difference and adds a personal touch that the old profile format wasn’t capable of achieving.

You can now take your holiday spirit beyond trimming the tree and decorating the house with lights. PageRage, the free Facebook layouts app gives Facebook users the ability to personalize their profiles with custom and pre-designed layouts.
So, what’s the catch?
In order to bring the holidays to your FB profile in layout form, users must install PageRage. Not to worry, the install is safe and very user friendly. The app is compatible with most widely used browsers like: Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox. PageRage is offered 100% free to FB users but be aware that the app is ad-supported, meaning, once installed, the app places advertisements on your FB account. The app does offer ad-free Facebook layouts though; upgrading to PageRage Premium for a one-time fee of $1.99 USD guarantees users an ad-free Facebook layout experience. Very thoughtful of them since more than half the population can’t stand ads. Thank you kindly PageRage! All in all, this is one spiffy Facebook customization app and what better way to celebrate the holidays than with a custom, colorful and free Facebook layout.
For more information about this new and innovative app, visit www.PageRage.com.

Like many, we tuned into the f8 conference a week ago and were introduced to the Spotify music app for Facebook. Once installed on your desktop, the app shares your music choices via Facebook, which allows your friends to see what your listening to and can join in and listen to your music list.
Spotify even goes as far as allowing users to enable private listening if some of your personal music choices are on the embarrassing side. For example, I have an unexplainable love for the Backstreet Boys but I am a little too embarrassed to let this secret out. With Spotify, you can enable the “Private Listening” feature for any song that you feel shouldn’t be shared amongst your Facebook friends. Founder Daniel Ek comments that the feature is part of a new desktop client and is designed to “temporarily hide your guilty pleasures” and works just like your web browser’s private mode.

We’re pretty sure you know what we’re talking about when we say “Facebook News Ticker.”
No? What if we say the annoying news-feed-like window that sits directly on top of your chat window?
The new homepage ticker was pushed out by Facebook on Wednesday September 21st to all users of the social network. The new feature is programmed to give us more of a “news” insight into our friends activity (in real time) via Facebook. Creepy right? The news ticker shows when you have chat open, and if you close chat, it takes residence above the ads and everything else. Talk about a migraine!
Currently, this news ticker is not optional and we don’t know if Facebook will ever make it optional, fingers crossed. Until that happens, here are some nifty solutions to getting rid of that annoying Facebook news ticker courtesy of AllFacebook.com: Continue Reading »
