The fb apps have an integrated browser and we could try pointing to a web address from our fb page. We would need to test how well Sugarizer works in their browser. I believe it's also possible to escape the fb browser and call the device's native browser, but i don't know the details.<br><br></div><div class="ecxgmail_extra">Smart marketing involves identifying a target with an objective, then choosing a media channel to touch that target. It's tempting to go the other way around and say "facebook is a heavyweight channel, so let's concentrate there, and everybody likes games, so let's put up a game", but for a workable strategy we need to first identify the target and objective, verify the target's presence in media channels (facebook or others), choose the best channel(s), then tailor the message to the target to achieve the objective. Facebook has massive penetration and it's likely many people in our target groups will be there. So we could certainly have separate parallel facebook campaigns for recruitment (volunteers), donors (resources), and teachers (adopters, prescriptors). To reach teachers, we could decide to highlight the pedagogical qualities of some of our Activities (Turtle Blocks, eToys), or we could prefer to present the Sugar interface. In the first case a standalone facebook app could be a good solution. In the second case a link to a Sugarizer instance would probably make more sense. In both cases there should be a call to action to invite teachers to learn more about the platform and its Activities.<br><br></div><div class="ecxgmail_extra">Sean.<br><br></div></div> <br>_______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</div> </div></body> </html>
