5 Reasons Why - 12/16/09 11:52 PM

Via Mike Mueller (Tech and Social Media Consultant):

It’s no secret I’m a fan of the Facebook (Fan) Business Page.  I also have a few real estate clients.  Hence it’s no surprise that I have built quite a few Custom Facebook Business Pages for real estate agents.  Here’s a few:http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikemueller/sets/72157622207611298/detail/
Not a single day goes by that someone doesn’t ask the big question
WHY? Make no mistake it’s a very valid question.

 “SEO” – a Facebook Page is indexed by all the major search engines as well as Facebook itself.  Wait … (5 comments)

Facebook your Listings (the right way) - 12/16/09 11:50 PM
Another great Facebook Fan Page Tip from Mike Mueller.

Still No. Not because I don't want to. You see... Facebook does not like dynamic content in custom tabs and guess what your IDX feed is? Yup! “Dynamic”. But wait there’s a workaround and a very pretty one at that. The folks over at RealBird have a slick application. … (2 comments)

There's 240 Reasons to read this post... - 12/16/09 11:47 PM
If you recently created a Facebook Fan Page, you will want to monitor this change in column width when it occurs.
Via Mike Mueller (Tech and Social Media Consultant):
Coming soon to a Custom Facebook Page near you…
Tab Width Reductions!
(boo….)

Part of Facebook’s developer roadmap was the proposal for applications to have a reduction in canvas width from 760 pixels to 520 pixels wide.
It was unclear if this was also meant to include Custom Facebook Page Tabs and there was plenty of discussion that they would not.  (custom tabs are not applications but use many of the same features like FBML)
