Facebook Apps That Work on Facebook Pages

Image via Wikipedia

In my desperate attempt to learn what Facebook Apps had upgraded to compatibility with the new Facebook Pages, I finally went scouring the Apps list myself. I kept in mind applications that would enhance a brand’s company page. I didn’t look at more niche areas like a fun sports app for a sports company page. I tried to make more general selections to serve a wider group of businesses.

Here is a short list that I hope to add to over time – and that will be easier to augment as more programmers catch up.

Slideshare – I like this application on my LinkedIn profile and think Slideshare can be an asset to a Facebook Page.

Social RSS – Brings in RSS feeds and supports both RSS and Atom.

Testimonials – I haven’t tried this one but if you have or use testimonials for your work, you can add this app.

Causes – If your company gets behind social causes, this is a great app to add as long as you’ve been actively recruiting to and supporting your causes.

LinkedIn Contacts – See and share your LinkedIn Contacts but note that it isn’t affiliated officially with LinkedIn. You can also use another app, Share LinkedIn Profile to do just that. Yet another, My LinkedIn Profile, puts a LinkedIn badge on your Page. Using the app Professional Profile, you can sync with your LinkedIn Resume and recommendations.

EventBrite – Publishing and managing events via EventBrite on the Web? You can add this app to your Page.

Ma.gnolia – If you like using Ma.gnolia, you can now add their Facebook app to your page. Personally, I am still trying to get in the habit of using my Delicious account. I’ve seen Chris Brogan use Delicious really well for links to case studies – a great business use of a bookmarking site.

Polls – Add interactive polls to your Page.

Memorable Web Addresses – If you can’t get your direct Facebook URL this weekend on the massive Facebook Username Grab, you can still use this app to simplify your Page’s URL. They show up as www.profile.to/yourname.

Call Me on Skype – We use Skype for Conversify so this is a great app to add to our Page.

Selective Twitter Status – Depending on how you use Twitter versus Facebook, there could be some redundancy in status updates, however, you can select which Tweets should be published to your Page. Just tag your tweets with #fb to post the tweet to your Page as well.

There are also multimedia apps – will cover that in another post!

Apps I’d like to see compatible with Facebook Pages (these are already regular Facebook profile apps):

1. SocialToo

2. Delicious

3. Seesmic
