This afternoon LivingSocial published a white paper giving their lessons learned from building successful applications on the Facebook platform. The argument presented in the company’s white paper is that if developers take advantage of the profile publisher, “the recent losses in page views and engagement” resulting from the new site design “could be mitigated”. I definitely agree and as Mark Zuckerberg emphasized at f8, Facebook is all about sharing. LivingSocial made what I consider an ...

This afternoon Facebook launched the web search tool that’s powered by Microsoft Live. When you search for items within Facebook’s global search box at the top of the site, you receive the option to “Search the Web” if no results show up immediately for contacts in your contact list. This is a big moment for Facebook. One thing I noticed is that the ads displayed are relevant to the keywords entered and not to your ...

Yesterday I wrote about how brands can succeed on Facebook. At the time I suggested that success for me personally is having an application within the leaderboard. Commenters immediately suggested that this position was a flawed one and after thinking about it further, I agree. The first step in launching a social media campaign or an individual campaign on Facebook is defining your objectives. Is Brand Building Important for All? One of the primary objectives ...

During the conversation the individual inquired about what the best strategy is for launching new applications on Facebook and what their overall general social media strategy should be. Are Facebook Applications Part of Social Media? It’s easy to jump at the bait and say that Facebook applications are part of social media. ...

As you’ll see in his note, it is summed up with “This is the paradox of social advertising: unlimited inventory of impressions that users have come to ignore, but very limited inventory of commercial experiences that users are opting in to engage with.” Nobody will deny that the industry faces some substantial hurdles and given SocialMedia’s leadership ...
