Facebook Activation

Interesting blog post from powered.com. A set of rules for companies to establish a Facebook presence. I would argue that engaging them to create content is a great place to start.

New Tongal Facebook Integration

Hey Tongal Community,

We’ve been making some revisions to the new site that we think you should know about. One of the biggest is our new Facebook integration mechanism. Here are some of the new features and a brief explanation of how they work:

1)       Now, when you sign up for Tongal, you can do so using your Facebook account. Tongal automatically fills out the pertinent information for you and creates a user profile in seconds.

2)       You can also connect your Tongal Updates to your Facebook Updates. Next time you sign in to Tongal, do so using Facebook Connect. This is a great way to let your friends know what you’re up to on Tongal.

3)       Finally, you can invite your friends on Facebook to join Tongal. Simply go to the friends section of your My Tongal page and click invite friends. You will be able to select the Facebook friends you want to invite. The invitation will appear on the side of their homepage.

This is a huge step forward in terms of integrating Tongal into major social networking sites. Give it a shot and let us know what you think!
