When Facebook emerged into the tech scene years back, it was simply the site for use in a college. To think today that to log in during its initial stage, you had to have '.edu' attached to your name seems like a joke. It is now a vital marketing tool and performs wonders for any business. The two college kids who launched it, well I am sure, could never predict it would be this huge. It now is and you should not ignore it even in the least.
It is continually evolving to include various applications for every business industry, and real estate being the great shareholder in the economy, it has not been left behind. Use these Facebook apps to market your business, get new clients, view and update listings and practically everything you want to.
In this fast paced world of technology, get your apps right to not be left behind panting!

Create a PowerPoint presentation easily with simple points and pictures then use this application to upload it to face book.
You can advertise your services, show what you have to offer and with the 6 million users on face book, you are sure you will be circulating the circles in no time.

A word on the underutilized Facebook page
One of the early easy of using Facebook for real estate was having a Facebook page. However, many did not capitalize on this well and let it go. It largely remains one of the most underused Facebook items. It is not an app you can directly get on your phone but you can access your page using your phone.
Your page is like your office notice board. Keep it active and engage your fans. Thank new members for joining. Keep tabs of birthdays and anniversaries and send them good wishes. Update on new events, listings, and pictures. Do all you can but never go silent on your page as well as keep it exciting and relevant. They definitely know how to capture one's attention!

The following is an article by Deborah Anderson, Social Web Cafe, published by Shaan Haider on Geeky Stuffs.
While many of you may have already figured this out, and still others of you are wondering *why* you would ever need to know this, there are a few of you (i.e. those requiring my assistance) who would like to know how to add an admin to your Facebook Fan Page.
Some of you may be asking *why* anyone would want to hide a friend list. I mean, don't you want to brag about how many "friends" you have and who you know? Not necessarily. There are two reasons, right off the top of my head that would cause someone to want to hide their friend list...
You may be fortunate enough to still have the birthdays show up in the panel on the right of your Facebook window. You may also see it pop up while navigating your friends' lists, etc. What we have, above, is the way to do-it-yourself when you're just not sure where that bugger went in the middle of Facebook world.
