I going to share a real example I saw it this morning. I saw this link ( finish this post before you click on it ) “OMG! Girl Got Kicked Out Of School For DRESSING Like This!” share by a few friend this morning,my instinct told me that this page sure got something weird. The landing page looks like a normal page , with a Call To Action button, using firebug to drill in the code and it seem this is not just a simple button.

Clicking on this button, it bring you to another landing page which seem like trying to verify you are a real person by giving you instruction to click on red and blue color.Checking on firebug , you will see that the red color box actually cover an iframe for share button.

If you click on the red box ? checking your own profile again, you will find out that you are sharing the page through your profile without your knowledge, your friend all will think that you are sharing this site because you find it useful ? but the real fact that you not even know this appear on your profile , if you never check on it.

So what about the blue box ? what are the code that hide in the blue box ? it seem like is a like button. So let’s try to click on it.

What you getting on your profile is you have become the fans of this page quietly. Yes there are no hints/information/alert that tell you what happen when you click on it.

By using these trick, the page getting expose on your profile , which showing to all your friend and this page getting you as their new fans.You have just become the victim of this Facebook Page Spammer.Checking your Facebook profile now to see any of these message showing, remove it now to reduced the impact toward your friend. That’s why I will advice you think before you click because you won’t know what the link will do at the background.

Just some background update , if you create an application in Facebook, it will auto create an about page for your application, this act like a fan page for your application where you can discuss,review or comment about application, this look ok during the old time before fan page upgrade to public profile.

During March Facebook upgrade the fan page to the new publci profile with tons of new features , but leave out the upgrade for application about page, it makes about page looks useless and meaningless compare to the new shiny Public Profile( it change the name from fan page to public profile) , i even try to ask in forum before , but didn’t getting any answer when will the about page getting upgrade ?

You might ask why is this upgrade important ? the answer is simple “Facebook Connect”. when you create Facebook connect for a web site , you need to create an application in Facebook and the old about page doesn’t really looks good, as another entry for your application or as another content distrubute for your website that connect through Facebook , public profile seem like a better choice. So you got 2 option

1. Create another Public Profile to represent your website in Facebook and hide your Facebook Connect application about page.
2. Using your Facebook Connect application about page and wait for the upgrade.

I can only select option 1 , since i need to launch both Facebook Connect and Facebook Fan Page together. After 1 week the project launch, Facebook launch the upgrade for application about page, sigh. I really wish that Facebook giving option for you to select a public profile to link with your application, this going to help a lot of early adopters.

side node : currently i m using the facebook connect apps to update status to the fan page, doing feed story is still ok, if you doing status update, it will show “via [application about page]” … now you see the problem ?

Since application now can be add by public profile, a lot of social media expert/user/wannabe raise a new question , how do i import my tweets to my public profile ? the official twitter application in facebook work great for personal profile but it doesn’t seem like working properly for facebook profile. Another important thing is the current twitter application for facebook will sync all your tweets to facebook , i doubt so lots of people wanna do that,  that’s why i m highly recommend this application  – Selective Twitter Status.

What this application does is , any of your tweets that end with #fb will be show in your personal / public profile , i believe it make use of the twitter search feature to do this.

Give it a try today, if you are looking for a solution to send some of your tweets to facebook public profile directly, other then this another way to play with this, which is make use of twitter feed, with added #fb end of your tweets, sync your feed to twitter and tweet it to facebook public profile, so that your public profile will tell your facen, every time when your have a new blog post done.
