LOS ANGELES, CA — Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook.com is at the top of the world right now and with more than 500 million users worldwide, it is quite possible that you, your family, and all of your friends might have a facebook account. The site seems to be a generation-defining technological advent that has tremendous influence on the way we socialize and behave on the web.

Facebook has attracted major businesses, artists, politicians, presidents, governments, and even the Vatican to create "fan pages" to network and share their message with its users. It has even received credit recently for serving as a major platform of reform and protest in the upraisings of the young populations of Egypt, Syria, and Libya, amongst others. It is said that without Facebook's unique ability to keep people connected in real-time, the toppling of Egypt's Mubarak's government perhaps would not have happened so quickly and in such an apparently easy fashion. 

All of this is noted in this news article to denote how powerful and important Facebook is, and if it can serve in such important global political events, why does your current website NOT have any of the new Facebook Social Plugins? If you don't yet have Facebook Social Plugins on your website, you might be losing business... it is THAT simple.

Makeview.com can bring your website and business up to date and integrate Facebook social plugins in a way that will help you the most. We can also consult you to aid in your understanding of why this is important. 

The current list of Facebook Social Plugins is as follows:

  • Like Button: The Like button lets users share pages from your site back to their Facebook profile with one click.
  • Send Button: The Send Button allows your users to easily send your content to their friends. 
  • Comments: The Comments plugin lets users comment on any piece of content on your site (i.e.: an article you might have written). 
  • Activity Feed: The Activity Feed plugin shows users what their friends are doing on your site through likes and comments. 
  • Recommendations: The Recommendations plugin gives users personalized suggestions for pages on your site they might like. (i.e.: if they like a product on your site, they can recommend it and you will get their friends to visit your site)
  • Like Box: The Like Box enables users to like your "Facebook Page" and view its stream directly from your website.
  • Login Button: The Login Button shows profile pictures of the user's friends who have already signed up for your site in addition to a login button. 
  • Registration: The registration plugin allows users to easily sign up for your website with their Facebook account (face it, nobody wants to have a unique account for 20 different websites...).
  • Facepile: The Facepile plugin displays the Facebook profile pictures of users who have liked your page or have signed up for your site. 
  • Live Stream: The Live Stream plugin lets your users share activity and comments in real-time as they interact during a live event.

So far those are the plugins that Facebook is offering. Facebook is changing so much and so quickly, and is always trying to improve, that it would not come as a surprise if in 6 months from the date of this article there were more updates or plugins that could be integrated with your website.
