This post is part of a series we're putting together on online community building recipes for the NewsCloud Facebook application. Please share your feedback and ideas with us.
Today, the Boston Globe shows a good example of how to link an existing website to your interactive NewsCloud-powered Facebook application. On the Boston.com home page, they're asking users a question from the Facebook application:
On Facebook: Train or plane to NYC? When users click the link, they go to the Facebook-based Your Boston application where they can browse people's responses, answer the question, comment on other answers and share the question on their Facebook wall.
While this is a pretty straightforward question, you can begin to see the possibilities of this kind of feature and how readers might use it.
We've also got a bunch of widgets built specifically for regular placement on your website. And, we're glad to improve or extend upon those listed.
