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.

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.

Many Facebook users have been looking for an app that will give them the ability to customize their profiles like they could on Myspace.  First thing first, Facebook is nothing like Myspace so how you go about customizing your profile with images, color or text is completely different.

How is it different you ask?

• Myspace allows users to insert their own html code; Facebook does not allow users this kind of access.
• Myspace is about creative expression; Facebook is about uniformity.

So, if you can’t insert html code on your profile page, how do you go about personalizing your FB profile?  Believe it or not, the answer is simple and doesn’t require html coding or magic pixie dust.  The only way to go about customizing your FB profile, at the moment, is through a browser application, that once installed, gives the appearance of having made changes to your FB profile.  The safest and best working Facebook layout customization tool out there to use is PageRage.  PageRage is a free, yet ad-supported (PageRage also offers ad-free layouts) browser app that allows you customize your FB profile with layouts and backgrounds.

Below we have provided some examples of PageRage Facebook layouts and this is just the tip of the iceberg! Visit www.PageRage.com for more information on how to go about customizing your FB profiles today.

It was last November when Facebook unveiled their mobile “check-in-deals” program and in April, a site-wide version of their deals program was unleashed on 5 US cities.  Since the start of Deals in November, millions of mobile users have taken advantage of great deals in their area.  When Facebook users check-in on their mobile phone, users will be notified automatically when a deal is nearby; convenience is a luxury that all Facebook users can afford now with Deals.

Facebook has a distinct advantage over its popular competitors like Groupon and Living Social, because they have their own platform to work off of, which happens to serve nearly 700 million people.  With Deals on Facebook, advertisers already know what you like to eat, what music you listen to, places you visit and what brands you love.  The only downside about Facebook Deals may be that it is too specific to a user.  As for Groupon, the deal site searches deals happening depending on your location, which is more flexible in giving you more options for deals to choose from.

Enjoy this nifty infographic we found which gives you an idea on how big of a competitor Facebook Deals is compared to Living Social and Groupon:

Facebook Deals has been available to the public for quite some time now, do you love it or hate it?  Sound off in the comments section below!

Many of us use Facebook to showcase ourselves, catch-up with friends, and share pictures of good times had. The only thing missing from Facebook, we think, is the ability to customize your personal profile. Although Facebook users are not able to customize their profiles by tampering with the site’s individual html code (like you could on Myspace), there is a very simple way to get around this little bump in the road. Enter, PageRage. PageRage is a browser plug-in application (not available as a Facebook app) that allows users to skin their profiles with pre-made or user created Facebook layouts.

How it works: Visit www.PageRage.com and install the free plug-in. The PageRage app is compatible with the following browser types: Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. Once PageRage is installed, you will have access to all Facebook layouts within their online library and let us tell you, it’s massive. There are thousands, upon thousands of Facebook layouts to choose from. There is also the option to create your own Facebook layouts using their top of the line CYOL tool. Once you have created or selected a layout to your profile, simply log into your Facebook account, navigate to the profile tab and hit the refresh key. You will now see that your Facebook profile is customized with a PageRage Facebook layout. So cool!

Be sure to add Memorial Day themed Facebook layouts to your profiles this weekend to show off that American spirit!  Below are some examples of Facebook layouts you can choose from:

One last note: Not only is PageRage easy to use, it is also very safe. The application contains no viruses, malware or spyware and has been tested as “safe” by many reputable anti-viral software’s. Feel free to read-up on the following articles for more information regarding this topic: PageRage Virus Free and PageRage Scam Free. Lastly, it is important to note that PageRage is ad-supported due to its free download. PageRage is planning to release an ad-free version of their app later this month, so stay tuned for when we report on that upgrade.

If you have ever had the chance to meet a celeb and take a picture with them, you wonder, how can I tag Rihanna in my picture on Facebook?

Great news! Just a few days ago, Facebook released a new feature that allows you to tag Facebook fan pages (aka celebrities, brands and music pages) in your photos.  So cool! Not only is this a great way to show off your awesome pictures to friends, giving you more bragging rights, but this new feature also gives fan page owners free advertising.  As seen in the photo below, you tag a fan page just the way you would tag another person.  Once you tag a fan page, the tagged photo will show up under the fan pages photo’s tab for other fans to see.  A page can be tagged in a photo even if you haven’t “Liked” it.  Pretty spiffy huh?

Page administrators have the ability to turn the feature on or off by going to Edit Page -> Posting Options and unchecking “Users can add photos.”  If you are a user and do not want your tagged fan page photo to show up on the fan page for all eyes to see, you will need to have your photos options set to “only friends.” By doing this, only your friends will be able to see that picture of you tagged alongside that jar of Nutella.

To us, this new feature is genuis! Who doesn’t love free advertising?  Brands will now have a constant flow of new pictures on their page with people using their brand.

So, what do you guys think of this new Facebook feature?  Will you start tagging brands and famous people in your pictures now? Let’s hear it!
