Honestly, I rarely click on my INBOX page unless it shows I have unread messages. Since UPDATES is hidden behind INBOX, very few people are likely to see your updates if you rely on them finding them under that tab. What excites me is that Facebook includes Fan Page updates in the news stream. Your content can now appear when the user logs in right next to their friends updates. For this to happen, however, you need to know your target market... e.g. when are they likely to login to Facebook (stay-at-home moms may login at different times then zealous computer programmers)? You've got a short window in which your update will appear above the fold in their news stream; time your messages strategically so they're seen! I encourage picking three to five times a day to send valuable updates out. I’m already planning a heist in anticipation of Facebook currency :)

Side note though a URL does not have a backslash "\" it uses foreword slashes "/". i don't think a "\" will work in a URL Good tips. yes the updates being better visible is why i started a fan page for my Background rotation application.
