Update
A while back, we did an interview with some really smart people who were developing a great twitter tool. It’s been a while and they’ve bee really busy creating a whole new “Social Inbox” which will help you monitor all your social messaging in one place. This includes Facebook. Take a look at the interview for Twitter Application for Business and go check out what they’re doing. It could potentially save you a LOT of time and effort. You’ll notice that we used ooVoo to record the interview which is an alternative we mentioned in our Skype article. Please keep in mind this is an older interview and tech moves fast, so some of the info has changed.
I’d like you guys to sound off in the comments below. Let me know what you’re doing on Facebook, share your fanpages, and if this helps you out.
