Turning Website Visitors into Facebook Fans with the Fan Box

Over 8 million users become fans of Facebook Pages every day to connect with their favorite public figures and organizations and get updates directly in their streams. Now, users can connect with brands, musicians, celebrities, businesses, and more, whether they're on or off Facebook.

Today, we're excited to launch the Fan Box, a Facebook Connect-enabled social widget that Page owners can add to their websites to allow users to fan and view the accompanying Facebook Page stream. With the Fan Box, brands can bring content from their Facebook Page into their website and help convert website visitors into Facebook fans. Users can view the most recent posts from the Page, see a list of other fans (including their friends), and, most importantly, become a fan without leaving the site. Additionally, if a user visits the site and isn't logged in to Facebook, the user can log in and become a fan directly inline as well.

The Fan Box takes just a few minutes to set up and integrate into your website, using only four lines of JavaScript. The code is available from your Page - just click Add Fan Box to your site underneath your Page's profile picture. Each Fan Box includes the Become a Fan button. You can customize the Fan Box to include additional features including the stream of recent posts as well as a list of fans. The Fan Box can integrate tightly into your website - it takes a minimum of 200px width and 64px height for the button, and 554px height with all features included. You can read more detailed instructions on our Developer Wiki.

Check out some examples of how sites are integrating the Fan Box, and get inspiration for how you can add the Fan Box to your site.

·         Newsweek integrated the Fan Box to encourage users to become a fan and get news updates through Facebook.

·         Coca-Cola's Fan Box integration encourages Coca-Cola customers to become fans on Facebook.

Others implementing the Fan Box on their websites today include ABC News, NPR, World Wildlife Fund, (RED), BlackBerry, Lance Armstrong/Livestrong.

 

Windows 7

Despite the arrival of a new leaked test version, Microsoft says it has not yet declared Windows 7 final.

In a blog posting, Windows blogger Brandon LeBlanc said the company still expects to finalize the code later this month.

The blog posting also confirmed that Microsoft plans to make the code available to those in its MSDN and TechNet developer programs within a few weeks after that point. Earlier, Microsoft said that businesses with volume license deals can get access to Windows 7 starting September 1.

Meanwhile, those who have pre-ordered the software or want to buy it on retail shelves or on a new PC will have to wait until its general availability on Oct. 22.

LeBlanc also cautioned against using code found on the Internet as some leaked versions have contained various types of malware.
