There are many detractors to Facebook apps, as well as many people over the last few days that have been publicly writing their manifesto’s on the closed platform of Facebook, MySpace, and other social networks. I won’t address the later, as I partially agree that opening things up would really make the business of social networks take off 10 fold.
Let’s address the first item. This morning, I just received an e-mail from Marshall talking about the new NPR player. Where is it? The NPR player can be found here, available inside Facebook. While browsing around and reading more about SplashCast’s new initiative to make more branded player’s, I found this great branded player called – Raw Vegas TV; again – inside Facebook. You can find both the NPR and the Raw Vegas TV players on my Facebook page.
So how do you view them? Well you need to have a Facebook account! Why don’t you have one? Not only is SplashCast proving that business is working on the Facebook platform, so is the company that I work for currently, Lending Club. How do you use their service currently? Via Facebook!
Not only has Lending Club taken the business of doing business inside Facebook to a new level, but the other company I most recently started working for has done the same thing – Lookery. Both companies have ramped up so quick that it would make the average old timer’s business head spin like Linda Blair‘s did in The Exorcist.
Why is it working? Well people have finally realized that if you have an audience of 30 million, and that audience is becoming more influential in today’s marketplace daily, you have a winner. Can MySpace or the other 100′s of social networks do the same thing? I believe they can leverage their own place, but that goes back to the part I won’t address – the opening up of the social network realm.
Technically Speaking, it feels good to see SplashCast doing well with their new branded players. Maybe I should get a Rex Dixon branded player? To answer your other question, yes, the Link Blog was updated! Many of you readers only just want a few free poker tables.
