Questions re: Newscloud Facebook Functionality

[Phil]

Hi,

I'm a beginner with the Newscloud FB app. Here are some preliminary
questions I'd love to get some answers for before my group decides how
to make our social network presence effective and useful:

* How many people are using the app right now?
* What's some major feedback that you've gotten re: functionality?
* Does the app integrate with Facebook's messaging services -- do
posts, comments, photos...etc. show up in mini-feeds and profiles.
* How can we use the app best in concert with Facebook "Pages"?
* What do you think is the single biggest impediment in getting
average facebook users to use the app?

Many thanks,

Phil Aroneanu

Phil,

When you ask how many people are using it ... do you mean?

a) open source framework
b) the demo app?

Each group starts their own app...and builds their own user base.

> * What's some major feedback that you've gotten re: functionality?

It's very new. Not a lot of feedback yet. Some folks expressed a
desire for volunteer mgmt type functionality.

> * Does the app integrate with Facebook's messaging services -- do
> posts, comments, photos...etc. show up in mini-feeds and profiles.

Yes to mini-feeds and profiles ... not yet to messaging.

> * How can we use the app best in concert with Facebook "Pages"?

I would link to the app from your page and drive traffic to your app.

> * What do you think is the single biggest impediment in getting
> average facebook users to use the app?

Building a good instance of the app that compels your users to join
and use it. Keeping content current for example.

My first question was regarding the open source framework.

Phil,

Looks like 78 downloads at SourceForge. It's only been out a week
though...
