Good news! (Thanks for the comment on the previous post from Bill Erikson.) It was before I read that comment that I found out that Facebook applications can be used on profiles pages or fan pages but that is up to the developer of the application to allow both or flexibility to have them on either or. Most Flickr applications on Facebook do not allow you to add them to a fan and a profile page.

If you are an admin of more than one fan page My Flickr will only let you add the application to one page and not multiple fan pages. I really hope that Facebook developers get on the ball with this because web marketing companies need these applications to make social marketing campaigns successful. I would even pay to have a good application with awesome functionality.

I can see it coming… As social marketing gets more popular on Facebook, developers will begin to charge for applications and they will kick ass and give us marketing folks what we need. I know I am very optimistic today.

Today I installed Youtube Box (you must register with Facebook and login to see link - BOO!) on Facebook for the Houston Zoo fan page and there as some grief but now the videos are on the fan page and not my profile. YAY. It works swell I just wish it was an austomatic feed.

If any of you web geeks would like to give more advice and share knowledge, please do leave a comment.

Comment on my previous post from Bill Erikson:

#5 - Yes, you can add applications to pages, but they must be specifically set up by the app developer to run on pages. Developers have the choice to allow their apps to be installed by users, pages, or both (it defaults to users). There are quite a few popular facebook page apps, like an RSS feed app.
