What a world of advertising this addon would be able to do for us.
 
I've been looking to integrate this with my site and I think many of us if we put our heads together could really get ourselves an advertising boost by utilizing this feature.
 
Basically, the way it would work is this:
 
When a facebook user does an action on your site, such as visit a forum, recommend a product to a friend, post in the forums, sign up at your site, buy a product, review a product, etc, it posts on facebook's status wall on the main pages of facebook stating that (for example):
 
Dan has just bought 'The Dark Knight' from Movies.com. Click here to see the item, or click comment to comment on this action.
 
Basically, every action would be available/visible to all of their friends, allowing interaction and bringing more visitors to your site to view and purchase what they want.
 
All the coding has been provided for ViArt, they would just need to implement this and charge me for the implementation fees. I'm looking for those that are actively looking for an enhanced way to get more visitors to your site to help out with the costs.
 
By the way... facebook has more than 100million users. Just think if 1 percent of those people bought something from you at a 1.00 profit.. that would be 1 million dollars in your pocket.
 
I think we should all have a use for this depending on what we sell. Lets get the greatest advertising campaign out there....

Sounds interesting Dan, will it be possible for clients to choose what people see.
 
e.g if buying gifts my clients would not want recipients to see what they have bought etc
 
Have you had a price back from Viart?

Yes, everything viewable would be selectable by the client. The client controls their viewing on facebook to what gets posted at all times.
 
They don't even need to register with your site, they could log-on to your site with their facebook login. Also, once on, they could see 'Friends' that are also logged on, communicate with them in the forums, etc.

Dan, this is a nice idea which could be implemented into Viart.

Im trying to get us all a quote on this..

We have reviewed all information and to be honest we do not think that this Facebook integration will be very useful for any of viart customers and their sites.
However, if you are greatly interested in this integration then for sure we can think about adding it to viart scripts; but please note that we are unable to estimate fixed cost for such project. We can only charge you $25 per hour and the final cost will be much higher than $2000 and will depend on the number of features of Facebook.
 
Therefore, we would ask to to consider whether you really want such specific integration before we start our work.
 
Please, feel free to contact us on any questions or problems.
 
With kind regards,

Therefore, since I've got two others interested in this besides myself, others ARE interested. Who else would be willing to contribute and have them implement at less than 2k(YIKES). If they feel more than a couple people would benefit, they will implement this and not charge that much for it, but they NEED to see interest.

They are charging quite a bit.
 
I think they have quoted such a high price to discourage you to go for Facebook connect. I think they do not like the idea.

Im interested! for www.worldwidemartialarts.com.au
 
Anyone who cannot see benefit is walking around with their eyes closed.
