    New on Facebook: Fan Box, Event Publisher, Live Video

    button-facebook

    The Fan Boxes
    Now Facebook Page users can find a new “Add Fan Box to your site” link under the logo of their page. Similar to the Facebook Badge, Facebook Fan Box can be added to users’ website or blog as a widget simply by copying and pasting the given html code to their respective sites.

    Through its widget and without leaving your website, your site visitors can view your Facebook Page’s latest updates and become a fan with a click of a button.

    Event planning made easy
    This addition to Facebook’s Publisher Tool is especially appealing to Facebookers who are into impromptu events and activities. Best of all, the event is updated in your friends’ news feeds. They can respond to it right where they see it and invite their own friends as well! The event is automatically open to everyone who sees your event update (that can be changed by editing the actual event application) or by personal invitation through the “invite guests” link.

    Justin.tv
    Justin.tv is, in their own words “the leader in live video and the place to broadcast and share video online”.

    Now you can have all that and more on Facebook through Live (by Justin.tv) application. You can have a live chat with other Facebookers who are also watching the same video. However, all your chat messages would be displayed as your status updates, which means everyone else can read them on their news feeds.
