Social Networking Tips

Increasing Corporate Facebook Fans
Displaying different content for fans and non-fans
This allows brands to display a “Become a Fan” incentive in an FBML box or Tab. This allows for some interesting scenarios, from displaying a simple “Thank you” to people who become Fans, to incentivizing visitors to “Become a Fan to see exclusive content/promo code/offer.”
http://infocomgroup.net/prumanuals/facebook.pdf
1. Create a 1 cell borderless table, with a fixed height and width; for example, 100px.2. Create and define a background image for that cell to the same dimensions, which contains the information you want NON-fans to see.3. Create a same-sized image that contains the information you want Fans to see and insert that into the cell.4. Use the following FBML tag to surround the cell contents -<fb:visible-to-connection><img src=”insert your image URL”></fb:visible-to-connection> .This FBML Tag only displays its content to Fans who are logged in. So what we’re actually doing here is creating a table with a background image, and then covering it up with another one IF you’re a Fan. It’s a bit of a hack, but only takes five minutes to do.Here’s some example code if you want to try it:<table width="xx" height="yy" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr> <td background="http://www.yourdomain.com/linkto/nonfans.jpg"> <fb:visible-to-connection> <img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/linkto/fans.jpg" height="xx" width="yy" /> </fb:visible-to-connection> </td></tr></table>
Is your website mobile-friendly?• With the increase in mobile devices that
support internet browsing, the number of websites popping up geared for mobile devices will likely increase dramatically in the next few years. Along with them, these mobile websites should continue to grow to fit the user’s expanding needs.
• Think about the sort of information your mobile customers might want – directions, search, contact information, latest news, business hours?

PodcastsPodcasting is a form of audio broadcasting on the Internet. You can download podcasts (audio shows) to your iPod or you can use your computer with some music software such as Windows built-in Media Player or my favorite player, Winamp, or other portable music players (iPod competitors) such as Creative Zen or iRiver. It really doesn’t matter, as long as you have some way to play music on your computer you will be able to listen to podcasts.
