Facebook brings cover photo design to 'hover cards' that appear when users mouse over page links

Facebook has redesigned its so-called “hover cards” which appear when users mouse over the names of users and pages that have upgraded to Timeline.


These hover cards now display a user’s or page’s cover photo, in addition to profile pictures. Pages associated with places have a slightly different format. In place of the profile image, there is a map thumbnail that directs users to a full Bing map when clicked.

The new eye-catching design could encourage users to click Like on pages they see in News Feed or elsewhere on the site. Hover
