The Twitter Widget

Getting the widget and customizing it is easy. Go to twitter.com and look for the resources link at the bottom of the page. Or if you can’t find it use this link: http://twitter.com/about/resources

You should see this screen.

Just click on the Widgets Section to go and start building the widget!

WIDGET CREATION

It may look like that we should select facebook here but we are creating a website inside facebook, so we should use the widgets for website use.

The Twitter Widget

We want people to view the business’ most recent “tweets” so we will use the Profile Widget.

WIDGET CREATION

Now customize it!

The Twitter Widget

-Put the business’ twitter username in the box provided

-Set the number of tweets that you want the people to see, Include the scrollbar and toggle a few other settings in the preference section.

WIDGET CREATION

-Customize the color scheme of your widget the preview will show you how it looks like while you’re editing it.

-Set how big you want the widget to appear, in this case we should set the width to 520px since that’s how wide the FB display page is

(any number beyond 520 will not display properly)

The Twitter WidgetWIDGET CREATION

Grab the code and integrate it to your FB page!

WIDGET INTEGRATION

Booshaka is an application made to measure fan interactions with your page. It’s a great way to recognize fans for promotion and increase activity on your page.

After clicking on install you will be asked to login with your FB credentials. You will be redirected to the booshaka site again and will be asked to select which page you wish top add the app to.

Your account will not be active for at least 48 hours. But after the wait period you can use the app and it will be displayed on your page.

Recognize button – displays yourtop 10 fans on your facebook wall.

Share button – will post the news thatthat the top fans tab is available for viewing on your page.

Invite button – will send a message toyour friends to check out where they rankon the page.

The Summary tab shows some statsabout your page.

Optimized FB profile pics Now this is fairly easy. To maximize the use of the default pic, you

can create or crop a picture using banner style resolution. If you have basic Adobe Photoshop skills this will be a breeze for you, just make sure that your canvas size is 540px high and 180px wide. Have fun creating designs!
