Facebook Becoming A Powerful Job Searching Tool

Justin Lafferty — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 18:34:06 +0000

When most people think of a social media site that’s tailored to job searching and recruitment, the obvious answer seems to be LinkedIn. However, Facebook is becoming more prominent in those arenas just by sheer volume. Many of the site’s 955 million users are eager to connect their job applications to their profiles, according to Susan Vitale, chief marketing officer of recruitment platform iCIMS. Vitale told AllFacebook that through iCIMS’ technology, more people are tying their application to their Facebook pages than their LinkedIn profiles.

Q&A: What Offerpop Offers The Facebook PMD

Jackie Cohen — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:03:36 +0000

We’re hearing from many of the 232 companies participating in Facebook’s preferred marketing developer program that the social network officially launched yesterday.

This merged the preferred developer consultant and marketing application programming interface developer programs into one program with four different badges: pages, ads, applications and insights. Many of the companies already in this PMD are getting certified for additional areas of expertise.

One such example is Offerpop. The company’s Chief Marketing Officer Mark Cooper told us about its participation in the program via an email interview.

Did you just receive the badge right when regrouping of the developer groups was announced? How long ago did you apply? What was that process?

We applied to the PDC program during the open application window last December. Offerpop was already a marketing API partner. We were accepted to the program, and told that PMD and MAP were going to be combined. Our badge was delivered just before the announcement.

How does being part of the PMD change things for Offerpop going forward?

Facebook has been a great partner, and we expect that to continue. We view PMD acceptance as public recognition that our self-service platform is a valuable part of the Facebook marketing ecosystem.

How does Offerpop differ from the other companies that have the PMD for apps?

Offerpop is the easiest to use marketing self-service platform available. We make it very easy for an individual marketer to launch a program in minutes.

Another key differentiator is that fans are not required to grant access to their Facebook profiles before participating in a program — our apps ask for access to their profiles and/or collect information via form fields after a fan has started to trust the experience.

And finally, we are solely focused on providing apps that deliver measurable return on investment to marketers. For example, our platform is the only one available with built-in unique promo code support and automatic barcode generation for printable coupons.

What else would you like to tell our readers about Offerpop?

We will continue to deliver solutions to our customers that help them acquire fans, virally engage friends of fans, and convert fans into repeat customers. And we are close to launching a very exciting app that starts to truly deliver on ‘outside-in’ marketing — enabling fans to help drive brand conversations and content. Stay tuned!

Browser Plugin Restyles Facebook Timeline

Jackie Cohen — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 10:48:40 +0000

The creator of Timeline Remove, a company called Secuna, has come out with a new variation on the browser plugin called Restyle Timeline, roughly one week after accusing a competitor of copying the removal tool.

This newest browser plugin doesn’t replace that first product, Timeline Remove, but rather offers another approach for those disgruntled with the Facebook layout: restyling, not removing.

Now, like the removal product, Restyle Timeline uses open source technology (hence the easy copying) and works with Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari and it will soon launch in versions for Internet Explorer and Opera.

Restyle Timeline can actually be installed together with Timeline Remove, the developer tells us. This newest plugin gives users the choice of:

Removing the cover image and reverting to a single-column layout ; or
Keeping the cover image while reverting to a single-column layout.

Those two options address the complaints we’ve been seeing from individuals’ posts on Facebook, both in the help center and AllFacebook’s wall on the social network.

The developers promise that the extension also improves speed and navigability on profiles and pages, but we don’t yet know whether that’s an accurate claim.

More importantly, the browser plugins don’t actually remove or restyle timeline on Facebook proper, but only do so for users who install the extension.

This makes the fix a cosmetic one, although this would still be an improvement for people who genuinely dislike timeline.

Meanwhile, we’ve yet to hear of a definitive start date for all profiles to have a mandatory timeline rollover.

Facebook has quietly eased up on a previous plan to put the advanced layout on all individual accounts across the site, instead advancing brand pages ahead of the usual order of redesigns by giving them all timeline on March 30.

Readers, have you tried any browser extension to rid your screen of the timeline layout?
