This is by no means a complete list of apps or recommendations. The apps I personally use are
marked with *. This list is only as a reference to get you started on your integrated FB Page.
FYI: 10/13/10 - It has come to my attention that Facebook will not longer allow Custom Tabs starting in
November. You can still use and enjoy custom business apps. I will post more to my blog and FB page at
http://www.facebook.com/gogetcreative as new information comes to light.
Social Media and Blog Apps
NetworkedBlogs * – This app shows up on your profile or in your boxes tab and displays your blog and
any of the blogs you like to read. It’s a great way to promote yourself and others.
My LinkedIn Profile – Creates a badge from your LinkedIn profile that gets displayed on your Facebook
profile.
Social Tweet (formerly Social Twitter) - Social Tweet enables you to tweet directly from Facebook. It
updates both your Twitter and Facebook profile. It can also be displayed on your Wall, Boxes tab or a new
"Tweets" tab. You can also select which tweets to be posted to your status.

Application page.

content management system included.
Notes (Default App) – Default App found on the right side of your profile. Add your RSS feed and view
your friends’ feeds. When your blog updates it shows the article in your feed.
Social RSS * – This one can be in either a box on your profile or even better, its own tab on your profile.

pages' walls and automatically pushes them to the news-feeds (Facebook homepage) of your Facebook
friends & fans.

2. Business/Self Promotion

denizens to endorse your company or find it via the IEndorse business database.
My Business Blink Web– Create a widget that promotes your business and that others can place on their
profiles. This basically turns your friends, clients, or customers into your advertisers.
Professional Profile – Create a tab on your profile for all of your professional contacts, information, and
activities. Very useful if you want to separate the two sides of yourself.
Testimonials - Use Testimonials to gather your personal, professional and academic references in one
place from your teachers, friends, and co-workers.
Roost Social Media Toolkit - Roost’s free “Real Estate” tab adds a local real estate section to your Facebook
pages in 3 easy steps. Includes residential property data, schools information, walk ability and more. You
can also brand this tab with your own company logo & links
Networking

Social Fly– Create notes about your online contacts, setup reminders to talk to them, and manage your
contacts. Great app for keeping up with business contacts.

have a lead for your friends, or just want to explore your friends' employers, BranchOut is for you. Branch
out, and discover the power of your network.

one of the LinkedIn apps).

more.

3. Marketplace - Buy, sell, and trade with your Friends, Friends-of-Friends, and the Facebook Community
ShopBuddy - ShopBuddy will take your shopping carts product feed and convert the data into a
Facebook friendly display of your shop, right on your business or personal Facebook page.

contests on Facebook Fan Pages within minutes. Available formats: Photo contests, video contests,
design contests, logo contests, essay-based contests.
Misc.
My Money – This online banking app isn’t very useful if you’re a large business, but for small or single
owner businesses it’s just one more tool that can help make Facebook a more valuable business stop.
Page Maps – Display a mini map (with links to larger maps) of where your business or favorite place to
have business meetings are.
Static FBML – Add some advanced functionality to your Facebook Page by being able to render HTML or
FBML (Facebook Markup Language) on the page. Change the look and feel, and even add apps, forms,
and widgets from other places. This app was developed by Facebook, so it’s fully supported and not
prone to the problems of some third party applications.
Menutab - Display the Menu of your Restaurant on your Facebook page. Add Photos and choose your
Style.
Facebook Places - Facebook made a huge splash last week with the official announcement of Places, the
social networking site's stab at a mobile location-based feature similar to Foursquare and Gowalla.
While the feature is still being rolled out to everyone, the potentially huge significance for small
businesses is hard to miss. What makes Places so important is not so much the functionality (which
appears to be largely lifted from existing players), but rather the fact that it's being launched by
Facebook. With over 500 million users, who are automatically opted in to the new feature, it may well be
Facebook that pushes geolocation into the mainstream.
