Facebook pages now support Flash, HTML and photo uploads by users
February 21st, 2008 by Karine Joly
The popular social networking website has just announced yesterday a few new features for its Facebook pages on the Facebook page dedicated to Facebook pages (gosh, how many times can I write “Facebook” in a single sentence? ;-) including the following:
- Users will be able to upload photos to Pages. Check the settings on the Photos application on your Page to turn this on or off.
- You can now replace your profile picture on your page with dynamic content, including flash and fbml (a subset of html). Just install one of the apps (links to them are on the Facebook Pages page) and select it when you choose to edit your profile picture.
And, while we are talking about Facebook, I have a quick reminder about “Facebook Apps 101 and Beyond,” the webinar series scheduled March 4-6: registration will close on February 25, 2008 (Monday), so don’t forget to register if you want to learn why and how you can use Facebook applications to reach and engage students.
You can register online at www.higheredexperts.com/facebookapp.

Has anyone figured out how fans can submit photos yet? I’ve left the feature turned on our Page, but my fans don’t see a way to actually upload the photos. Great concept, but I’m not sure it’s really ready yet?
