Facebook today announced a new feature designed to increase the projection of the platform pages.
Publishers, as of today, can add many logos as shown below. These logos will appear next to anything posted on the page, but only in the "Customize and Search" sections… for now.
The reason the feature appeared now, according to Facebook, is that if you ask someone who read the news they will tell you στο on Facebook, although Facebook does not publishes news except for press releases at his official blog.
A research of the Pew Research Center claims that only 56% of respondents could recall the source of an article when they clicked on a link from social networking sites.
While it's a small change, anything that increases visibility to publishers is always welcome. It remains to be seen whether this will have an effect on the end user remembering the source of the content when it is posted on Social Networks.
