Facebook Fan Boxes Embeddable Facebook Pages
Facebook continues to extend outside the walls of its social network. The latest: Facebook Fan Boxes, which lets Facebook Page admins embed the latest activity from their Page on their own website. Page admins will now see an “Add Fan Box to your site” link under the logo of their page. From there, they can cut and paste the code into their website, which will then display a widget containing that page*s latest updates, and optionally, pictures of fans. Additionally, Facebook users can become a fan of a Page right from the website the Box is embedded on. For example, here*s what Mashable*s Fan Box looks like: FB.init(”0682fef22b901a5e420a6699396fa994″);Mashable on FacebookConsidering gaining fans means gaining access to a user’s homepage on Facebook, expect to see lots of these boxes popping up around the Web. Much like Facebook’s recently launched Live Stream Box, which lets anyone create a CNN/Facebook-like integration, it’s yet another tool for blogs and website owners to capitalize on the massive reach of the social network. In a post to its developer blog, Facebook notes that the Fan Box has already been implemented by Coca-Cola, Newsweek, and Threadless.Reviews: Facebook, MashableTags: facebook, facebook pages, widgets
