Just caught this awesome infographic over on Mashable and wanted to share it all with you. The information was collected and put together into image form by OnlineSchools.org (they also have a lot of other cool infographics covering a wide range of topics on their site).
Now that Facebook has released their latest API and integration options it appears that Levi’s will be one of the first major brands to incorporate these features into their online shop at Levis.com.
Levi’s has built a 2-way facebook integration into their online store allowing visitors to not only share their favorite products that they “like” with their facebook friends, but also to view the “most liked” products directly in the Levi’s online store. The Levi’s store is also able to pull profile information for its visitors that allows Levi’s to get details statistics and demographics, as well as share certain bits of users profile, such as birthdays, on the site.
At Facebook’s annual F8 conference, the company unveiled it’s new Open Graph API and Protocol with plans to interconnect Facebook with other websites, and allow these sites to tie back into Facebook itself to build a new Social Web.
The official Facebook Blog post announcing Open Graph goes into somewhat more detail as to what Facebook’s plans are for the new system, and also introduced early Open Graph integrations with Microsoft, Yelp and Pandora.
These new integration options will allow sites to pull certain Facebook profile information for website visitors, and provide these sites with the tools and data to build advanced interactive solutions, such as sharing favorite web pages with friends, showing your friends what you’re currently listening to (Pandora), sharing your favorite local businesses (Yelp), and more.
