One thing about Facebook applications - there's no shortage of them. But if you're a person trying to use your Facebook page to do business, that's exactly the problem. Sifting through all the Facebook applications available hunting for the one Facebook application that will do what you need it to do and do it well is like panning for gold. Who has time?
Well, I've done the panning for you. Here's a shortlist of the best Facebook applications for doing business.The Best Facebook Applications
A Facebook application that lets you turn your Facebook page into an ecommerce site. You can add products to your store manually, or, which is really cool, import them from your existing ecommerce site.
Basically RSS Graffiti takes your RSS/Atom feeds and posts them to your Facebook wall. This is the most reliable feed posting application I've found. And you can use it to write multiple feeds on multiple walls if you like.
LaterBro is the simple solution to the problem of having something to post but not wanting to post it right now; just sign in with Facebook Connect, select your time zone, type in what you’d like to say, and set the calendar and clock to when you'd like to say it.
Set up marketing campaigns on Facebook Fan Pages within minutes with this Facebook application. Use it for contests, sweepstakes, coupons and more.
I like this particular poll Facebook application because you can add pictures, videos or links into your polls.
A Facebook application that lets you make free conference calls. (There is a Calliflower premium service that combines conference calling, document sharing, text chat, and more available from $50 USD a month.)
For many small businesses, referrals are the number one way to grow. This free Facebook application lets you grow your referral network by letting Facebook users endorse your company. And the IEndorse business database makes your company easier to find.
If you're one of the many small business people that uses LinkedIn and Facebook, you'll find this Facebook application handy; it lets you display your LinkedIn profile on your Facebook page.
A to-do list. A calendar you can use to publish calendar events on your Facebook profile. Text message reminders. This is one simple Facebook application that does a lot.
My Office lets you collaborate on documents, but it also lets you do things such as set and agree to meetings, create to-do lists, and track who's responsible for what.
Like the name says, this Facebook application lets you conduct live face-to-face meetings using your webcam. The application also has a white board so you can share photos, drawings and more while you video conference.
