Fan Pages Hurt
I spent this fine afternoon creating a brand new Facebook Fan page for the Media Commons as our old Group page was set to be frozen in carbonite – with no option for mercy. Armed with advice from our resident social media guru, I set to work with a spring in my step. Most everything went fairly smoothly and we started racking up fans even before the bulk of the move was complete. However, I hit a snag when it came time to start adding apps.
Well, make that app. It was really just the addition of RSS that brought the entire endeavor to its knees. For whatever reason, every RSS app I tried offered tantalizing glimmers of functionality and then utter failure. The eventual winner (following much muttering and a few threats of violence against my computer) was RSS Graffiti which is now seamlessly integrating our news feed into the Page Wall.
Check out my handiwork on the new Media Commons Page (and make sure you Like us while you’re there)!
