Facebook have recently announced a raft of new extensions to their service, allowing for even more integration between external websites like Twibbon and the Facebook.com mothership. With around 450 million users and still growing faster than ever we know that campaigners want Twibbon to provide the best Facebook integration possible to engage with their supporters so we’ve been tirelessly working away to build some of these new functions into our service.

Why is this great news for your Campaign?

The more buzz supporters generate for your Campaign the better! Now supporters can ‘Like’ a Campaign without even wearing a Twibbon, find out what their Facebook friends are sharing and enjoying on Twibbon and get personalised recommendations based on a combination of their friends and others activity on the site.

Let’s take a look at how this looks on Twibbon itself:

‘Like’ a Campaign

Maybe you’ve already got the Twibbon and want to drum up more support. Maybe you’ve no room in your profile for another Twibbon. Whatever the reason, you can now use the iconic ‘Like’ button to tell your Facebook Friends about it.

Creators of Custom Campaigns, our paid option enabling you to specify your Twitter account and Facebook page to be incorporated into your campaign pages, now have their “Like Box” displayed - further driving fans and engagement.

Find out more about Custom Campaigns.

‘NO H8 Campaign’ has got over 7,000 people wearing their Twibbon with their Custom Campaign, and loads of people ‘Liking’ their Facebook Page. That’s what you call engagement!

Recent Activity Feed

If you’re logged into Facebook, this widget displays the most recent activity from your Friends on the social networking service. If you aren’t signed in, then the most interesting recent activity from everyone on Twibbon will be displayed. That’s a whole lot of people sharing and engaging with your Campaign.

We’ve listed the campaigns your Facebook friends have ‘Liked’ recently! Amazing, right?!

Recommendations

When users engage in social interactions with Twibbon Campaigns, they are displayed on a ‘Recommendations’ widget. This plugin is active on the Homepage and all Search, Tag and Category pages. If you’re already logged into Facebook, this will generate recommendations from Campaigns your Facebook Friends have interacted with. Set up a Campaign now and get your supporters sharing.

Loads of your friends are interacting with Twibbon Campaigns on Facebook!

Facebook – there’s a Twibbon for that!

Whether you are creating a Campaign or lending your support, this all spells tremendous news for Twibbon users. We’ve had a dig around for an appropriate Twibbon to celebrate: Get the Facebook Twibbon and show your support for the world most expansive social networking site!

Check out all the new features yourself on Twibbon and let us know what you think of the new, improved experience!

NOH8 Campaign is a fantastic artistic initiative protesting against the ruling of Proposition 8, which amended State constitution in California in 2008 to ban same sex marriage. The campaign is based around photographing thousands of celebrities, politicians and everyday folk with their mouths taped shut, and this has become hugely symbolic and instantly recognisable all over the web.

OMG, its Kim Kardashian - she’s only Twibbon’s most followed user!

This campaign is all about building awareness through great photography and a compelling social media presence. On Myspace, Facebook and Twitter you can find them working hard to raise awareness of their important cause. Which, of course, eventually brought them to Twibbon, where they’ve launched their own Custom Campaign, and it’s going splendidly, having already passed the 5,000 mark.

You know what to do people; help them out on whichever social networking site you like!

Almost 60,000 of you have made a visual statement in mourning for the West Virginia Miners who passed away just a few days ago on April 5^th 2010. The 25 who have been confirmed dead makes this tragedy, just south of Charleston, the highest toll for a US coal mining disaster since 1984.

The coal mining industry remains a staple for many communities around the area, and sentiments are being echoed all over the country as rescue teams search for four more possible survivors.

You’ve been supporting in your tens of thousands, particularly on Facebook, where users have positioned this black Twibbon in the corner of their profiles in remembrance. Similarly, multitudes have been replacing their profile picture with the Twibbon as a mark of respect.

Would it be Gary? Hayley? Kieron?! It was always going to go to the wire wasn’t it...

This weekend, a magnificent effort from Ms. Tamaddon did enough to take the Dancing on Ice 2010 crown leaving Gary Lucy a deserving runner up. We created a special Twibbon destination for Dancing On Ice and ITV, and it saw almost as much action as the live arena audience!

A whopping 61,000 of you have been following the fun on their Facebook Page, while 11,013 hung on the programme’s every word (or 140 characters) through the @DancingOnIce Twitter account.

Well done to Hayley, and well done to everyone at ITV and Dancing On Ice for another great year of thrills and a few spectacluar spills. We look forward to seeing next year’s stellar line-up!
