myJambi comes to Facebook!

If you are like me, you might be bummed out about this whole new Facebook business. How can you improve upon an old classic? Well to answer that and to add a little sunshine to your day, myJambi would like to introduce their latest feature: the myJambi Facebook application.

Maybe you feel inundated by Facebook applications. Most of them are utterly useless, I mean who really NEEDS to pretend to be a vampire or a werewolf. Other applications, like Facebook Mobile, actually make the site so much more useful. And myJambi's app definitely fits this latter description.

Simply put, the application will link your Facebook and myJambi accounts. Your offers and wants will be prominently displayed on your Facebook profile. You can also choose to send it out into your friends' feeds--so whenever you're looking for that Spanish Tutor and want to tell all your friends, you can create your Want on myJambi and it will be sent out to your Facebook friends.

In addition to getting the word out about your offers and wants, you have the option to display the most popular categories on myJambi in the application and you can also add a myJambi search function to it.

After you add the application, you can invite your friends to add it as well. When you do that, you can share an offer or want with your friend. Maybe you're looking for a cooking instructor, you can invite all your foodie friends on Facebook to add the application along with your want, enticing them to join.

Adding the application is easy. If you get an invite from a friend (or you search the available applications) click on the link that allows the application to be added to your profile. You will then have the option to link to your myJambi profile by addint your login information. Once that is complete you will be asked where you want to place your application-under the Information portion of your profile or in the Boxes section. I'd say you should put it right under your Information. It will end up under your friend's list and will stand out to whomever might be scoping your profile. Here is what mine looks like:

Why add the myJambi application to your Facebook? Simple, you want everyone in your network to know about your offers and wants. Getting the word out on Facebook is just tapping into a wider network of friends. Wider network of friends means more appointments booked, and that means happy myJambi members.
