Social Network Viral Marketing?

**Chad** · #1 (**permalink**) 02-08-2008, 09:27 AM

Ok well since my new job entails the creation, design, and implementation of facebook applications. I have decided to work on a viral marketing campaign for beasttoast using facebook as the key.

It will basically integrate your activity on the forum into the facebook site and you will easily be able to invite friends to the forum. Registration will take around 5 seconds through facebook, and there will be an auto login button inside your facebook account.

What i need is neat and unique ideas that you would like to see implemented in this project. This may be beasttoast's 2nd change to make a comeback.

So far it will:

show your latest topics on your profile
if the user isnt a member of beasttoast show a join button, which will let them signup straight from your profile page
it will show the friends that you got to join through facebook
(might have like a facebook recruitment scoreboard or something)
when everything is ironed out ill prolly have a contest

I want everyone to respond to this topic, tell me what you think and any ideas you may have.

I think it sounds great.

any other ideas you may want to add into the mix?

It might also be neat if you could make it not only show peoples latest topics but also their latest blogs if thats possible. Other than that I don't have any ideas to add but if I think of any I will post them.

I'm not familiar with facebook, should i get an account???!?!? will i score brownie points???!?!

That was my spontaneity for the day. I'm all for the app..let's see if it works..fuck, yeah.

Hmmm
this would be a good idea;
when will it go into effect, so i can join it? (yes, got a facebook already and yes, james GET ONE)

as to input...
i agreed with nacht, notice of blogs if possible.

perhaps links to the chat rooms; might boost their usage.

maybe a radio? or one of those applications that lets you add songs so that peeps can listen to it? (i wonder if they still have it...i'll try lookin')

hmm, that's all i can think of right now.
i'll just post l8r if i got more ideas.

Would be nice if there was an update on this app.

Hi, this is my first post in a while... so! yay!

I think your idea is great, it will help promote your website.. which by the way looks awesome since the remodeling!
I do have one idea for your Facebook application: you could have the ranks show on the Facebook profile (noob, supernova, etc.).
Also, just to keep things confidential and safeguard people's identity. A draw back for existing members to add this application would be that maybe they do not want their comments or posts to be read by their friends. Let's be honest, I posted some wild stuff back in the day and I wouldn't really want to go back and delete them so my friends wouldn't see them so I'd just not add the application with my existing BeastToast name. I mean, you have to remember that you would be linking your personal profile with an annonymous profile and your identity would be revealed.

What do you think? I might be over thinking it...
