Integrating Facebook with our blogs

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 08:58:15 +0000

I decided to start doing a bit more social with our blogs and signed up for the facebook api integration. In our blog posts you’ll notice the I Like Facebook buttons and the ability to login using your facebook account. One of the additional features we’ve included is the ability to comment using your facebook account.

There were two plugins we used: WP-FacebookConnect and Facebook Like. The idea of using these plugins and integrating our blogs to facebook is to generate more traffic and make it easier for our readers to comment on blog posts. We hope you like these features.

Advertise Me twitter down – Twitter over subscribed

admin — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 12:47:02 +0000

We just noticed that our twitter status was not showing on some of our websites so we tested to see if our twitter page http://www.twitter.com/advertisemeAU was working, and surprisingly we noticed that the twitter service is over capacity. This is what we saw:

This is quite excepted with the huge number of users and traffic, so don’t be alarmed if you see the above image once in a while.

NOTE: Funnily enough, the service came back within a couple of seconds.

Updating your Social Networking status updates

admin — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 09:18:14 +0000

For those of you who are using a twitter or facebook account, do you have to manually and update your status information? Do you find it tedious and time consuming to think of something to update?

What we’ve done in advertise me is to automatically link new articles and posts from our blog and forum to our twitter account using twitterfeed.com Basically, if you have a blog with an RSS or Atom feed, you will be able to feed this information to your twitter account. Otherwise you can use an application called TwitterDeck which allows you to simultaneously update your Twitter, Facebook and Myspace statuses.

Obviously, the objective is to advertise and market your business and at the same time drive more traffic to your websites.
