A Tool to Keep You Tied to Social Media
WIBIYA, a tool that will make your social networking easier as well as help build traffic to your Web site
Now that you've developed a Web site foundation through a blog and have joined social media venues such as Twitter, Facebook and Friendfeed, how do you tie them all together? In this article, Linda introduces WIBIYA, a tool that will make your social networking easier as well as help build traffic to your Web site.
Facebook Revisited
The nice thing about writing articles about a given social media tool is that I get to learn more about that tool as I write about it. In this case, I went to my WIBIYA account and learned that I can remove that Facebook community function if I desired and add my Facebook Fan Page for Appomattox News. I decided to keep the community page, as many Appomattox folks are into Facebook and might find this tool interesting and easy to use for community. I'll consider it a test.
But, the most important issue was my Fan Page, and I wanted this function immediately. When I added the Facebook Fan Page button to my widget toolbar, the site allowed me to upgrade that toolbar immediately from the WIBIYA Web site. How easy is that? The new addition looks like this:
When you click on that button for the Fan Page, you'll see this image (the images of my fans are blurry on purpose):
Linda Goin
Linda Goin carries an A.A. in graphic design, a B.F.A. in visual communications with a minor in business and marketing and an M.A. in American History with a minor in the Reformation. While the latter degree doesn't seem to fit with the first two educational experiences, Linda used her 25-year design expertise on archaeological digs and in the study of material culture. Now she uses her education and experiences in social media experiments.
Accolades for her work include fifteen first-place Colorado Press Association awards, numerous fine art and graphic design awards, and interviews about content development with The Wall St. Journal, Chicago Tribune, Psychology Today, and L.A. Times.
