Although I primarily am blogging on my official web design site, I thought I would pop over to Internet Madman to announce a nice little bit of coding in the form of a five dollar Windows application that assists in the easy creation of Facebook Fan or Facebook business pages. Use this link to download Facebook Page Creation Tool.

The Windows-based program allows you to visually create your tabbed interface, easily and automatically include popular sharing scripts, plus Facebook social plugins such as the like button, and the comment box. Testing a tab color scheme couldn’t be easier. Simply use the data entry tabs to enter content for up to five tabs, and click create! Did I mention I’m only charging five bucks??? I am a Madman!

Most people have hard time creating a good tabbed interface for their Facebook business of fan page, and I think that they labor under the misconception that it’s an automatic thing. In fact you have to install an application on Facebook called Static HTML iframe tabs, which allow you to enter custom page HTML CODE. This facebook application does not create a tabbed interface! That’s where my program comes into play. It will create the tabbed interface that has become a staple for all good Facebook pages. Show go over there to webprofast and download it today.

Seriously, I went to Digg a post, and I wanted to connect with my FaceBook user Id, cause for some reason I didn’t remember my Digg password, so I proceeded to connect with Facebook.

All was good until it stated, “Looks like you already have a Digg Account.” Well Okay, I thought and so I then did remember it, “I guess” so I entered that info. It did find me, “I guess” (Not much feedback from that page)

But I thought the whole point was to log in with my FaceBook credentials??? Apparently not. Apparently, they just want to associate the account. I’m not really a great fan of leaving around 50,000 personally identifiable pieces of information everywhere, but whatever.

Anyway, I select not to share my photo, and not to follow my FaceBook friends on Digg. Then I click the submit button, and whoila…

Digg & Facebook Not Communicating

Anybody elese think that this error was a little bit dumb? And not just because it’s an error, but because it tells you nothing about why it happened. To me as a developer, irritates me mildy. Every web application has errors, but developers need to show the user exactly why the error ocurred, intead of some generic message, but of course, I’m an Internet Madman. So my opinion means very little to some and more to others. Of course the developers probably know exactly what happened, and to that I give them credit, but as a developer myself, I hate when stuff fails to work (and I don’t know the reason). And that’s my vent for the day.
