Facebook Disables New Profile Migration Tool

Just a day after the feature launched, Facebook has reportedly disabled its new feature, the Profile Migration Tool, which was intended to help users convert profiles into business pages without losing contacts.
As of Friday, when Facebook users go looking for the tool’s former page on the site, they’ll end up at Facebook’s destination for creating standard pages, where the option to port contacts from an existing profile is not available.

Facebook now allows users to convert their profiles into official business pages.
The “Profile To Business Page Migration” tool will help people who either created a personal profile for a business before Pages existed, or accidentally started accumulating fans as friends instead of Likes.

The top social network site unveiled its new photo-dominated profile pages. Tabs are moved to side and more images are splattered on the pages. How will the people perceive this change?
For the new Facebook profile, the company gave emphasis on photos. It starts on the summary of photos on the top of a profile page. The old tabbed interface of things like walls, infos and photos were transfered on the left rail below the primary photo.
Instead of the basic facts about the user hidden in the ‘Info’ tab, the new profile design features a short introduction at the top of the profile page. The introduction includes job, relationship status, birthday, hometown and many more. Since photos come after the basic information, users should be more vigilant of photos which they are tagged.
Featured Friends section on the left rail is also given the spotlight on the new design. User can highlight friends and family who are important. Plus the Friendship Pages which debuted last October is now directly integrated on the profile page.
The new Facebook design now display favorites by means of photos instead of text links. In addition, albums are equipped with infinite scroll for easy navigation through hundreds of photos.
