Creating a start-up is tough work and promoting it even more. We now have a Facebook Page for our project and I want to show you how to configure the Facebook Page the way it displays Twitter and RSS feeds.

First you need to create an Facebook Page and pay attention at the title of the Page because it can´t be changed later.

To import an RSS feed then (i.e. like we did with our Corporate Blog) you must perform the following steps.

1.) Click at “Edit Page”

2.) Click at “Edit” at the “Notes” layer

3.) Click at “Change Import Settings”

4.) Enter the RSS feed URL

Even it looks easy it´s not so easy to find out in the first place.

If done your Blog entries will show up automatically at your Facebook Page.

Further more we want our Twitter updates also there. You need to use an third party app for this because Facebook doesn´t have Twitter support yet.

1.) Click at “Edit Page”

2.) Click at “Additional Applications” -> “Further Apps”

3.) Search for “Selective Twitter Status” and install it.

4.) In the App, Settings, enter your Twitter-User Name

5.) Settings, Application, allow the App to puplish  new entries

Hint: Whenever you publish a Tweet with “#fb” it will show up shortly after at your Facebook Page.

That´s it, try it and have fun!

The SevenSnap Facebook Page can be viewed here.

As I already wrote, the SevenSnap idea was born in the year 2008. I created the concept then and did meet developers and thought of starting the project web based in 2008.

As I moved forward it turned out that the development costs of this web based SevenSnap App would consume up to $120.000 even without a “First Media Package”. Obviously, that´s too much for a new start-up.

Luckily the App Store came to life and the iPhone SDK.

The iPhone SDK is a highly efficient way to develop Software and reduces costs. Also thanks to the huge installed base of over 40 million devices many people will be able to use the App in the future while we think it´s a way to get in touch with customers more easy.

Therefor the strategy of “First the App Store, proof of concept, extend to different plattforms later” is reasonable for us and of course for you.

With optimized conditions we are convinced that we can get enough financial power to extend the SevenSnap project to different plattforms like Android, Websites and so on.

We look forward to release the SevenSnap App and we think we had the right idea at the right time.

By the way: The Fronted contains over 45 screens and is done! Currently we integrate the layout in the SDK and looking forward to see the first prototype!

I´m currently working at the Backend concept and it looks like this will be done till tomorrow, then move on to the development.

Well, you sure experienced this, too, haven’t you? From time to time, music is an undeniable feature for relaxing but also move on for hours of work.

Are you listening to music while working and what kind of music you prefer then?
