Social RSS has the following features you can use:

• Add your blog or any RSS feeds to your wall/boxes tab or create a new RSS/Blog tab dedicated to your feeds.

• It helps businesses to promote their brand further. This includes the development of branded apps and bespoke Fan/Business Pages to your specific requirements.

This application allows you to:

• Control Your Professional Identity
• Separate professional information to a separate tab on your profile.
• Tag Contacts
• Use tags to organize your contacts and browse your network.
• View Companies You Know

4. Memorable Web Addresses for Profile, Page and Group

This application allows you to create a short, easy to remember personalized web address for your Facebook profile, group or page. You can share the link with other people, post it on forums, show it on your myspace page or print it on your business cards.

This application shortens long web addresses on Facebook to something like this:

For Pages: have a choice of domain names such as companies.to, band.to, politician.to, facebook.dj, or artist.to

Make a miniature web page, show your latest blog entry, even embed your favorite YouTube video, embed a free e-book and other stuffs for your friends to make use of. Anyone can use it, but if you want things to look really snazzy you’ll need to know how to use HTML.

Sometimes they see status updates which they do not understand. If you have had complaints from your Facebook friends or you do not want them to complain, you need to use this application. This application allows you to choose when to update your Facebook status from Twitter by ending your tweet with #fb
