Give Your Business An Edge With The Drupal-Facebook Tandem

Facebook is currently the most popular social networking website in the world. Millions of people log onto it daily to connect with friends and family. And, Internet marketers have not wasted time in capitalising on this popularity by marketing their products and services to the ready audience found on Facebook through making applications.

The problem, though, is that what these Facebook applications can do for your business is quite limited. Or, at least it was, before Drupal for Facebook was developed.

1. Drupal For Facebook
Drupal for Facebook is a set of themes and modules that makes it possible for Webmasters and developers to use Drupal as a platform to develop Facebook applications for their businesses. This means that the functional beauty that Drupal comes with can be harnessed to post content - either as FBML or an iFrame - on Facebook. Anyone who has had experience with Drupal automatically knows that it would be easier to create Facebook applications with this development.

2. Facebook Connect
When it comes to integrating Facebook and your Drupal site, you have Facebook Connect to thank. This option allows you to completely and successfully sync your Facebook app with your Drupal site. Any changes you’ve done to your Drupal-powered website would reflect on your Facebook app, and vice versa.

When users interact with your Facebook app, your site would have the benefit of having those interactions mirrored on it. When you use an iFrame especially, this integration becomes even more apparent.

So, clearly, Drupal is not just the best open-source content management system that you can use to build powerful websites. It can be instrumental in bringing your products and services better too, as it equips you with the chance to host your business on the most powerful virtual storefront on the Internet today - Facebook.
