Facebook have more formally announced they’ll be phasing out the use of FBML for custom Facebook pages and switching to the use of iFrames and embedded Facebook apps. “Damn”, you may be thinking, “I only just worked out how to create a landing page with FBML”. Well, don’t be so downhearted; this change should give brands and sites a lot more freedom in what you can now do on your Facebook pages. You’ll need to make an ‘app’, which sounds daunting but is relatively straightforward with the these 8 steps.
Facebook have announced the switchover to a new appearance for company/business pages today – you can access the new layout and functionality in preview now, with full switchover happening on 10 March. It’s certainly a welcome change, offering additional functionality that advertisers and companies have been screaming out for, including the ability to ‘become’ a business page.
We’ve noticed that Facebook adverts are now showing a ‘display URL’ after the title, very much in the style of traditional Adwords display URLs
First of all, I must congratulate the fatBuzz team on their 1st anniversary of the New Media Breakfast series! I remember my first time at one of the breakfasts in Edinburgh around October time last year, and I have certainly seen the event grow since then which is fantastic to see.

The Foursquare blog has announced that you can now integrate an ‘add to Foursquare’ button onto your website. I’m personally not a big fan of Foursquare and don’t use it, but I can certainly see how this could start to truly integrate it across the web and make it less of a ‘quirky add-on experience’.
New Media BreakfastThe New Media Breakfast series proved to be another success in July with this month’s topic focussing on Facebook for business. Held in Glasgow on the 2nd of July and in Edinburgh on the 15th of July, both events had great turnouts yet again.
Organised by fatBuzz and Winning Entrepreneurs, the morning sessions included a talk from Gordon White on Facebook settings & pages and a cameo appearance of Attacat’s Joel Lumsden talking about Facebook Advertising.
Tim, Ben and the most interesting of the bunch Joel joined the guys from FatBuzz on the 21st edition of their Social Media Podcast recently. Listen to us as we jump onto a range of topical bandwagons and chat about iPhone 4, Facebook privacy and advertising, Google Caffeine, SEO and a whole load of other interesting online-related things.
Hootsuite caused a bit of a stir last week by dropping out for an hour or two and coming back ‘bigger and better’ with Hootsuite 5. Using HTML5 and integrating geo-tweets, additional themes, improved Facebook options and Google Analytics they’re making a strong play to be the top Twitter aggregator in the market, but how do they compare to old favourite TweetDeck?
