Networking and Marketing

Fan Page

To get traffic and improve marketing i researched the use of Facebook Applications. This provides a “canves” page where you can chose between FBML (facebook markup language) or a simple iframe to pull from a located website. this allows you to have a fan page where you can talk about the application on the facebook wall and notify fans and users about “Message the world” New features or changes.

Information Page

This also has an information panel where you can view the amount of users that have joined and users who have liked the application. This will allow me to view the progress and make changes to how people are using this application. This also has a feature where users “FANS” can write on the wall and comment on Message The World. This will allow me to take on opinions and  allow the product to evolve and change to suite the users needs.


ADD FRIENDS

This also users to request their friends. this will show as a notification on their friends Facebook when the user accepts the request it will direct them to the application. This will prompt them to allow permissions that i have set which then allows me to perform commands such as retrieve details and information, post to there wall about application updates. The posts to users walls will also allow friends to see the application. This will divert more traffic.


request from friend

information admission
 Above shows how the request is seen and how the user has to acept information to allow the application this allows me to gather details from users.

As a starting point facebook will be a very good marketing tool and will allow me to target a wide audience which in time will spreed through friends
