Facebook have just a released the ‘Fan Box’, a simple to integrate (just a few lines of javascript) connection between your own domain and your Facebook fan page. With the box, visitors to your website will be able to easily see the wall posts and updates made from your fan page, and will be able to click to become a fan (and start receiving your updates into their Facebook stream), all without leaving your website.
As fan pages become more important brand properties, as way of communicating with your customers through their stream, and as launching points for interactive applications, competitions, promotions, etc, turning your regular website visitors into fans as well is becoming just as important. If you run a brand website as well as a fan page, we’d strongly recommend looking at how you could use this solution. Find out more on the Facebook Developer Blog here.
