Facebook Timeline is nearly 1 year old!

February 29, 2012 was the day Facebook officially announced and turned live the now familiar “Timeline for Pages.”

Facebook Timeline Turns 1

It's even hard to remember what Pages looked like before Timeline. Remember the “old days” of Pages with a left navigation, no cover image, and 520 pixel wide tabs?

My how things have changed! Image sizes, strategies for engagement, importance of the News Feed and post types, as well as the value of tab app promotions are just a few of the new priorities that emerged over the past year as Timeline evolved.

As we look back on all that has changed with Pages, the one constant is the value of images within Pages. Images matter in posting, cover images are key to introducing a Page, and the size of images in links and video previews have been important updates in the past few months by Facebook. For example, on the Infographic below look at the size that Facebook video preview images get (403 x 226 px!) in comparison to YouTube videos.

With images being so valuable, at the one year anniversary of Facebook's launch of Timeline for Pages, we offer you a updated and revised Facebook Timeline Image Dimensions Guide for use!

Happy Birthday Facebook Timeline!

Will AI replace white-collar jobs?

AI will replace tasks and compress certain roles, especially entry-level and output based work. But leadership, accountability, and strategic judgement remain deeply human responsibilities. It's human plus machines. The power of AI is mind and machine working together.

What kind of jobs are most at risk from AI?

Jobs that rely heavily on repeatable output, predictable processes, and low-context decision-making are most vulnerable. Roles centered on coordination, creativity, leadership, and high-level strategy are evolving, not disappearing. The biggest risk isn’t automation. It’s stagnation. Make certain you are continuously learning and experimenting!

How should professionals prepare for AI disruption?

Stop waiting. Start experimenting. Learn how AI works inside your own organization and workflows. Strengthen your judgment, decision-making, and communication skills. Build adaptability. The people who thrive won’t be the most technical. They’ll be the most adaptable.

What does leadership look like in an AI-driven workplace?

Leadership becomes more human, not less. As automation increases, trust, clarity, and accountability matter more. Leaders must guide teams through change, reduce fear, and align technology with purpose. AI may scale execution. Leadership scales belief.
