Targetting Facebook for Niche Market
Finally I got myself a new Facebook profile. At first thought, I wanted to build new network using my friends from college and high school. However, applications in facebook profiles are unlimited! I just can’t seem to track any new message and invitation immediately. Need to do a spring cleaning on my Facebook profile. It seems that others find it interesting to put as many application as possible inside their Facebook profile. Each person can have more than 30 applications inside their profile, which cost some time and bandwidth for the slowpoke internet connection. People just like it, Facebook is really a dynamic site. You can almost put everything inside. I randomly upload images from other source in the web, just for fun. Yeah, Facebook is really entertaining, I started to get addicted to it.
I am not going to remove a single page from this site to Facebook, in fact I wanted my Facebook to list every single post here. Yes, you can do that. They provide notes which can subscribe your RSS reader, another frequent subscriber. This time, the application isn’t just a single note, you can still add more for your blogging empire. Hmm… I am wondering, if I can attract people from Facebook, it will be a great pleasure. Facebook have become the top search from Google and Yahoo. I won’t mind to get my traffic become Hectic, that’s because Blogspot is just as reliable as it is.
Opportunity comes in handy, I see huge market is lying in Facebook, both niche and non-niche. You can target specific area and join their network, it’s a simple process. Some people are trying to get their money on Facebook by creating an application. This is another quotation that I took related to this story:
(It had been awaiting approval from half a dozen states, including big
ones like California, Michigan, Illinois, and Pennsylvania). Lending
Club launched six months ago on Facebook,
and opened up its own Website three months ago. In that time, its
members have issued 489 loans worth $3.5 million. Of that amount, only
$16,000 worth are between 16 and 30 days late on payments (see stats here). It also does not allow sub-prime loans.
Various applications are starting to get their fangs on Facebook. I just installed this Splash Blast game and look how many people are online and playing this game. It is twice, no, triplet as much as any MMORPG I have ever joined. People just like simple stuff nowadays, and fun too. While some application claims that they gained benefits more from Facebook. For example is meebo; they claim to have 20 million monthly hits from Facebook application, what a huge number. Oops, I got an attack while writing this blog, it is from the Triumph game application.
Well, know I wanted to find my niche, it’s time to search any interest-related group which involves Graphic Design.

Haha, I’m actually one of the Facebook-purist, who like Facebook’s clean format before the flood of those applications. I agree that there’s a couple of really useful and neat apps (like imeem, meebo, etc.). The things I don’t like with those apps are: (1) It clunks people’s profile, so that it takes forever to scroll down to its “main” feature (mainly profile, photos, friends list and walls) (2) There’s too much abuse, esp on the super wall, where people are just forwarding stuffs (i.e. spamming) other people’s wall without sending any personal message. That’s the reason why I’m taking off the Superwall from my profile. But then again, everyone has their own preferences :-).
Thanks for the comment, bro. This is just the feedback that I want. I know that Facebook apps are infinite! Each can have as many as possible. Scrolling down each person profile might reduce your willingness to explore more. That’s why, Facebook designed their profile page in dynamic form. You can actually customized the profile freely.
For example: if you didn’t like SuperWall apps, you don’t have to unplug it, just minimize the apps windows by clicking on the apps title.
Another example: You want Entourage apps to be the focus of your page. Just arrange the Entourage window to the main window (Facebook have left sidebar and main window). And put it on top of other apps.
There, you won’t have to scroll down your profile. Teach others about this method. This way, you can browse efficiently.
