How Facebook Timeline Could Help Political Pages

Facebook's timeline would give politicians and candidates the chance to present a more complete image on their pages.

Facebook’s timeline may become available for pages at the end of the month, offering unique opportunities and challenges for elected officials and their campaigns.

The powerful visual and graphic elements of timeline give politicians and candidates the chance to present a more complete image — even humanize them.

Don Seymour, director of digital communications for the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives John Boehner, believes that timeline will provide lawmakers with a powerful communications tool:

I think timeline will open new opportunities for lawmakers to really tell a story, whether it’s about the Speaker’s background as a small businessman or the work being done in the House to create a better environment for private-sector job growth.
