Overview
Promote a Page
Using the power of the Facebook Connect API, Simple Social prompts your site visitors to publish and promote pages within a Plone website directly to their own Facebook profiles. Users can add a comment to go along with the publishing. This makes it very easy for you, and more importantly your site visitors, to spread information about your organization.
Facebook Like Box
Simple Social for Plone makes it easy to publish a Facebook Like Box on your website. What's a Like Box you ask? It's a great way to promote your Facebook presence directly on your website. The Like Box shows others who is following your Facebook Page, lets them read recent wall posts, and offers site visitors the chance to become a fan with the click of a button.
Custom Integration
If you have some technical chops of your own, Simple Social ships with a foundation for creating your own custom integrations using Facebook's custom markup language XFBML and/or the Facebook Javascript API.
