New iFrames Facebook Page App With Fan Gate Option – from Wildfire | MariSmith.com
The clock is ticking to March 11th, 2011 when Facebook will no longer allow the creation of new FBML custom tabs/apps . Users will need to switch to iFrames where you basically create your own app and host your own media that’s used to customize any pages. (Important note: any and all custom content you created with the Static FBML app up to and including March 10, WILL continue to be supported . You will not suddenly lose any custom content; you’ll still be able to edit the content, you just can’t add any new FBML “tabs.”) For most small business owners, the switch to a more complex system where you create your own app might sound scary.
This is not a full wordpress oriented post, but as you probably know FBLM is deprecated, so according to facebook dev guide, and Bigthink.it i’ll try to show you how to show a “secret” content only at your facebook page’s fans.

What? Facebook allows corporate business pages much more freedom to define their space within Facebook than is available on personal profiles. Beyond the simple wall posts, photo galleries, videos and events, businesses are able to create custom tabs which allow them to display all manner of creative content, graphics, games, quizzes and more to keep users engaged. To make the most of custom tabs, business pages should take advantage of the ability to create “Fan Gates” (or “Reveal Tabs”).

How to Increase Facebook Engagement Using Custom Page Tabs
Earlier this week Facebook launched a new page measurement which looks at the number of fans who “are talking about” a branded Facebook page. The ‘People Talking About’ metric refers to user-initiated activity on a specific page, which includes posting to the Wall; “liking”, commenting or sharing one of the posts or a piece of content on the page; answering a Facebook Question posed to fans, or mentioning a page in a status update. Here at FreshNetworks we’re very pleased with this new metric as it indicates a move away from measuring a page’s “success” through the number of likes or fans , and a move towards measuring real engagement – something which we’ve always advocated. With this in mind, we thought it would be interesting to use this new metric to assess which are the Top 100 most engaged pages on Facebook*.

Facebook users themselves have some preconceived notions about what to expect when they “like” a company on the site, and among those who do not become brand fans, many are negative. More than half of users expect to be bombarded with messages or ads (54%), while 45% do not want to give companies access to profile information and 31% do not want to push content from a company into friends’ newsfeeds. These possibilities have prevented users from making brand connections on the social networking giant.

Editor’s note: As of March 30, 2012, Facebook pages will get the Timeline format. The change means you can no longer have a default landing tab. But custom apps will continue to work, including fan gates. Each tab/app still has a unique URL so you can drive traffic from inside or outside Facebook to any ‘landing page’ you wish. Last week, Facebook finished the changeover of its business pages to the new personal profile-style layout. One of the big changes that had a lot of business owners and marketers up in arms was the elimination of Static FBML (Facebook Markup Language) in favor of iFrames to design custom tabs.

Consumers who sign up for Plink can earn Facebook Credits when they use their credit card at brick-and-mortar locations, such as Taco Bell, Quiznos and 7-Eleven. Plink is one of a few companies betting on the rise of the social network’s virtual currency, Credits. “Facebook Credits are proving to be the missing ingredient that bridges the gap between social media marketing and offline sales,” Plink co-founder Peter Vogel said in a press release. When Plink launched in January , we applauded how the program connects offline transactions with people’s online profiles without placing additional onus on consumers or businesses. Credits accrue and can be redeemed with ease, similar to Frequent Flier Miles. The idea of Facebook Credits being used as rewards is an interesting one; people who might not see value in spending actual money for the virtual currency can earn Credits through Plink, for example, and then might be more likely to spend those Credits on virtual or digital goods.You know Facebook is the largest and fastest growing community in the last 3 years.For millions of people,the first thing when they wake up is to check facebook page.Just think about the potential of facebook!!

With as unprivacy oriented as Facebook is, you would think that it would be obvious how to link directly to one of your Facebook status updates. But, even though the way to do it is staring you right in the face whenever you look at any profile in Facebook, it isn’t obvious at all. Although, once you know the secret, it’s dead easy to link directly to any status update on Facebook. (Under the hood, it’s identified as the “story_fbid”, but you don’t actually need to know that.) The reason that it’s so difficult to find the direct link to a Facebook status update is that, for reasons unknown to us, the link - which is below every status update - doesn’t look like a link at all.
