Lotus Knows... Facebook!
09/28/2009 12:01 AM by Chris Toohey
Lotus Knows - the latest IBM Lotus Marketing campaign - is in full swing: not
only via a totally revamped, media-centric website at www.lotusknows.com, but also
hitting the major social networking sites in the consumer landscape - on
Twitter as @LotusKnows, on YouTube at www.youtube.com/lotusknows and now
with an official Lotus
Knows Facebook Fan Page!
Facebook members can become a fan of Lotus Knows by clicking through the above
URL, but Facebook also allows you to show your fandom outside of Facebook with
Fan Boxes. Facebook Fan Boxes are social widgets that allow Fan Page
Admins to drive fan traffic from non-Facebook, external websites (read: your
blog). And I've grabbed the markup for a Lotus Knows Fan Box here:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/
en_US"></script>
<script
type="text/javascript">FB.init("a07f17ca51935c7a147a4a3f4afc7442");</scrip
t>
<fb:fan profile_id="115592692916" stream="1" connections="10"
width="300">
</fb:fan>
<div style="font-size:8px; padding-left:10px">
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lotus-Knows/115592692916">Lotus
Knows Facebook</a>
</div>
Simply copy and paste the above markup into your own weblog or Lotus-themed site, and help spread the word: Lotus Knows Facebook!
And check out the Facebook Developer's Wiki, where you can customize Facebook Fan Boxes.
