OrgSync’s Facebook Connect Assists in Creating Awareness for Your Organization and in Increasing Student Involvement
March 6 2009, 12:27pm
OrgSync has just launched its very own Facebook Connect application. OrgSync hopes by offering this application to their user that their services will be more accessible and further integrated into student’s lives. The OrgSync Facebook Connect feature allows users to log into OrgSync using their Facebook username and password.
What are the benefits of this you may ask? Well for starters, with the dozens of online community memberships you have, using this Facebook Connect application to log in to OrgSync means students have one less username and password to remember. More importantly, this application will help students increase awareness for their organization, assist in the marketing of events and increase member participation, thus adding value to the overall initiative of increasing student involvement on campus. With the OrgSync Facebook Connect application students who are part of an organization will have the option of publishing desired information about their organization’s activity into their Facebook news feed. This is just one way OrgSync hopes to assist student leaders with their communication efforts among their members and prospective members. For example, when a member Joins (”RSVP”) an event on OrgSync they will have the option to also publish it into their Facebook news feed, maximizing the organization’s efforts in promoting their event. There will be many new Facebook Connect features implemented over the next several months. To find more information about the OrgSync Facebook Connect go here and look for updates within your OrgSync user portal. If you have any suggestions or questions about our Facebook Connect feature feel free to contact us at Facebook@OrgSync.com. The Creator of OrgSync’s Facebook Connect: Clifton King, a software developer for OrgSync and a Computer Science student at the University of Texas at Austin, implemented Facebook Connect into OrgSync, through a Facebook API that he created in Ruby. This is the first large scale integration on a Rails platform with Facebook Connect and we are very excited to provide the additional benefits to our users!
