Artists Warming To Facebook Timeline

In a study conducted by ReverbNation and Hypebot, it seems that artists and bands have a more positive opinion of Facebook's much maligned Timeline after using it for a bit. Here's what they found:

• 30 days after release, only 39% of artists would give Timeline a Like. After 90 days, that figure increased to 45%.

• 62% said that Timeline makes it easier to share videos and photos.

• 55% say that Timeline is better at publicizing shows.

• 54% say that Timeline is better at sharing music.

• 49.5% say that Timeline is just as good or better at growing their fanbase.

• 49% say that Timeline has helped their fan engagement.

• 68% are getting more likes since the switch.

• 61% thing that their "People talking about this" stats are better after the change.

• Only 15% say they have more comments since the introduction of Timeline.

• Only 17.6% are noticing more Shares.

It seems that the more artists live with Timeline, the more they like it. What do you think?
