Here we go again, Facebook. Once more, Zuckerberg changed up the profile layout for both individuals and brands. And by the looks of it, Timeline is here to stay. Brand pages will automatically be switched to the new format as of today (3/30/12). I’m sure you’ve seen it by now, but if not here’s your guide to the new Timeline. The most obvious new feature is the Cover photo. This large banner-sized image at the top of each profile allows an individual or brand create a major visual focal ...
