Facebook rolled out some changes for page admins this evening.  Now instead of having a pages tab on the left side of my newsfeed, my top 8 pages showed up and I could just click right through to see the page.

And to see the rest of my pages, I simply clicked towards the right of the column on a button that appeared that said “more”.

Gone are the fan counts and in their place is a more prominent view of the last time the page was used.  If you click on the pencil, this appears:

And once you add the page to your favorites, it jumps to the top of the left hand side of your page! Each favorite page is removed from the pages list on the left side of the newsfeed.  From there you can rearrange the order in which the pages appear.

As you can see, even on the left side of the page, you can see the notification button.  This makes the monitoring of Facebook Pages that much easier when you are working from within Facebook. I can read my newsfeed and watch the notification buttons at the same time.  I can also click through to the different pages with ease and view them in 1 click.

I do miss the fan count at a glance feature, but it’s not all about the count any way right? It’s quality not quantity!
