Facebook Page Profile – Part 3

The activity feed plugin is another valuable tool for those who have their own personal websites tied into their Facebook business page. It allows for the most recent activity taking place on your site to be displayed on Facebook. Perhaps more beneficial, however, is that as the content is hosted by Facebook, the plugin will display whether or not the user has logged into your site.

In using the Activity Feed plugin you must specify a domain to show activity for exactly. You cannot use multiple domains with this plugin at this time. The plugin is available either through a simple iframe you can connect to your page, or if you are familiar with Javascript SDK you can use <fb:activity> XFBML tag to activate it.

Like Box and Comment Box

The Like and Comment boxes are the most common features of Facebook; however, many users will be surprised to find that they are available for use, as well as a plugin, on their own website. These social plugins can connect your website directly to your Facebook page.

The Like box will allow visitors to your website to like your Facebook page and find yet another way to connect with you, while the Comment box will allow them to leave “wall postings” or “messages” regarding your company, product, or brand.

Remember to check back with us next week as we take a final look at the plugins available for giving your Facebook page a professional enhancement.
