Top 20 Facebook Apps for Entrepreneurs
If you thought Facebook was just another social networking site, if you thought it did not offer anything for the online businessman, here are 20 applications (or apps as they are popularly called) that will make you think again.
1. Simple Stock Quotes: Keeping an eye on the movements of the stock markets? Then this is the perfect app for you – it allows you not only to watch the stocks you are interested in, but to play voyeur as well. Snoop around and see what stocks your friends are interested in, and the stock that’s watched the most by the entire Facebook community.
2. Zoho: With Zoho, you don’t have to leave Facebook to work on your documents, presentations or worksheets. You can either use your Zoho account to transfer your documents to Facebook or create a new user.
3. Box Files: If you have a Box.net account, Files allows access to 1 GB of online storage that you can use to stash any text, audio or video files.
4. Email: A nifty tool that allows you to contact non-Facebook users from within the community portal. Your regular email id shows on the sender’s address space, and replies are threaded just like messages are within the default Facebook messaging application.
5. 30Boxes Calendar: Use this app not just to write to-do lists and inform friends of events that concern them, but also to remind yourself of events – Calendar sends you text messages when events are due. You can also link the calendars between your Facebook profile and the 30Boxes site, making an entry in one reflect in the other.
6. Search: Scour the pages of Google, Amazon and Wikipedia from inside Facebook with the Search app – information at your fingertips.
7. To-Do: Organize your tasks, rank them in order of priority and set reminders for due dates. Delete them once they are complete.
8. Walkie Talkie: Group chats are so much easier with this application – send out invitations to others in your club and start discussions at the click of a button.
9. Think Free Docs: A nice app to upload your documents and share them with others in the community. You also have access to docs that other members upload. It’s easy to set up, though you do have to sign up with Think Free to be able to use it.
10. eBay Auctions: Use your profile to advertise what you’ve put up for sale on eBay, generate publicity for your auctions.
11. BillMonk: Money comes with its share of problems, especially when you’ve lent some of it. With human memory being what it is, BillMonk is the perfect solution to help you keep track of how much you’ve lent to whom. It also plays the role of your conscience, reminding you of how much you’ve borrowed too.
12. SlideShare: A cool app that lets you upload and share your PowerPoint and OpenOffice presentations, and KeyNote or PDF files with your friends. You can also leave comments on others' presentations.
13. Jobster: Great for looking for work or for people to hire.
14. Ether: If you’ve got a skill to market, this app is a cool way to make some cash on the side. Advertise your talents on your profile using Ether – the app provides a number that people can call to avail your services (calls are forwarded to your personal number), once they pay the rate displayed on your profile.
15. Price Tracker: Shopping on Amazon is cheaper with this neat app – it tracks items you are interested in, and notifies you when prices change – so you can grab it when it’s sufficiently low.
16. Fantasy Stock Exchange: Test your investing skills with this app – test the fantasy stock exchange waters before you take the plunge into the real world.
17. TechCrunch: Your one-stop source for all that’s moving and shaking on the Internet. The most happening companies, products and events that shape the Web are featured on the TechCrunch website – and this app feeds your appetite for news with direct news feeds and headlines from the site.
18. Upcoming: Keep your finger on the pulse of all that’s happening with this application; it provides information on all events that are around the corner.
19. Lending Club: If your credit’s good on Facebook, Lending Club’s all you need to borrow some money from others in the community. Trustworthy third parties take care of the risks and details involved.
20. Developer Directory: A sort of bulletin board where you can market your software skills or look for programmers to join your project.
