Why? Because although it has huge implications for your brands/you, you have a whole month (March 10th) to get used to the new design and update clients! Lots more over at the usual suspects but the brief details are that Facebook is updating brand pages (i.e. fan pages) and pulling together the user-interface for users so they look more like a user’s profile/wall experience.
