Top Picks: Facebook Applications for Business Pages
The Social Media Power team has compiled a Top Picks list of Facebook Applications that we use most often for our business clients. We found that implementing these applications creates an interactive page that also gives visitors a personable look into a business.
My Flickr (http://apps.facebook.com/myflickr/): Display photos from your Flickr account using this application. These photos can include logos, product photos, photos from events, etc.
Upcoming (http://apps.facebook.com/upcoming/): Add all of your events to upcoming.org, and you can easily display them on your Facebook page with Upcoming’s Facebook application.
YouTube Box (http://apps.facebook.com/videobox/): Allows visitors to play your YouTube videos right on your Facebook page.
Simply RSS (http://apps.facebook.com/simplyrss/): This allows you to display up to eight RSS feeds on your Facebook page and display the feeds from your business’s main site and newsrooms.
Book Share Books (http://apps.facebook.com/bookshare/): This application is good to share books key team member’s have written or to highlight books relevant to your industry.
Notes (http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2347471856): Facebook notes are like blog entries, where you can post entries and your fans can comment on them. You can also pipe your regular blog entries into this application.
Static FBML (http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=4949752878&ref=s): This application will allow you to create your own custom Facebook boxes using standard HTML or Facebook Markup Language. Do not be intimidated by this application, though, it is easy to implement, and can add to your page customization.
