How to add Poker News Facebook application
June 15, 2009Pokernews has just launched a new application in Facebook called "Poker News from PokerNews". You can add it to your profile or your Facebook Page. Here are some small guidelines on how to do it.
Step 1. Opening the application
Please go to http://apps.new.facebook.com/poker-news/ where you will find the entire Poker News application. In the right column you can select the categories you would like to see filtered. If you do not select anything, the application will show all the news stories.
Step 2. Adding it to your profile
If you want to add this application to your profile, please click "Add to profile" button at the right-bottom box called Pokernews.com Tools. A splash screen with your application preview will appear. You may then select where you want to place it – on your Wall and info Tabs or in the Box tab. Let's try Wall and Info Tabs first.
Once you have clicked the "Add" button at the bottom you are then redirected to your profile. Facebook suggests keeping it just below your friends' box. Please click the "Keep" button. Facebook adds this application to your profile, but you may drag and drop it yourself anywhere you want.
Step 3. Moving it to the Boxes tab
Boxes tab is less visible than the profile information to your friends; therefore I would recommend keeping this application in your profile. You could have moved the application to the Boxes tab by following Step 2, just using the Boxes tab instead of Wall. There is a little pencil icon next to the name of the application. If you click it, you will see 2 options: Move to Boxes tab or (I shouldn't have mentioned the second option) Remove Box. Please click 'Move to Boxes' tab.
Here you go! You are redirected to the Boxes page and you can see the application just at the top.
Of course, you can move it to any position you want simply by dragging it and dropping. Please remember that the Right column in the Boxes is narrow, therefore the looks of the application will change. If you want to return it to the Wall tab, just click on the pencil (edit) icon.
Step 4. Adding it to your page
If you are the administrator of any Facebook page, you can easily add the Poker News application to it. Just go to the start page of the application and instead of "add to Profile" click the small link below – "Add to Page"
Select the page you want to add it to and then approve the access to this page by clicking "Add Pokernews" button.
Then go to the Edit page and make sure the settings have the wall and Tab enabled.
Then go to the page and click "+" at the end of your tabs to add Pokernews as a new tab.
You can change the order of tabs by drag&dropping the Tabs.
Done! Congratulations! You now have all the latest and best quality poker news from PokerNews.com. You can always check on how it looks at Pokernews Facebook Page (please become a PokerNews Fan as you have already took a visit

PokerNews on Facebook
February 12, 2009It's been some time since my last post about Pokernews features. Something has changed now. I will continue introducing the features, only not inside, but outside Pokernews. Now I work as social networking manager, therefore my main focus is on most popular social networks. Let's start from Facebook.
Facebook now is booming. It is translated to 36 languages, therefore there are no more language issues (as some features are really complicated, so difficult to understand for not native English speakers). There are lots of activities for poker players in Facebook. The main one is playing the Zynga poker application Texas Holdem Poker. It is really intersting to see who has got the bigger rankings among your friends...
Facebook has got a very nice feature - being Fan of some pages. So you can be a Fan of Pokernews FaceBook Page and get some updates without visiting Pokernews every day. Now there are no many fans, but once we reach some more, i will organize some added value tournament. We had some in the past and people loved it.
Also we have a couple of Facebook groups with more people
Main Pokernews Group
UK PokerNews Group
IT PokerNews Group for our Italian readers (you all should know that Italian government made poker as not quite legal activity and ISPs ban the rooms' websites)Some time ago we even created PokerNews application, but i will not tell about it as it needs some rework
If you are on Facebook or would like to go there and looking for some activity, please always remember that PokerNews is there. Or myself. I am always glad to make new friends. Check my personal Facebook Profile or search me using my real name - Marius Kuitniauskas.

PokerNews in social networks
March 25, 2008As you know all the world is crazy about social networks such as Facebook, mySpace, Orkut etc. I have decided to move the Pokernews community wider than my.pokernews. If you are member of Facebook, Orkut or MySpace, please join Pokernews groups:
Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2228205612
Orkut - http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=47231344
MySpace - http://groups.myspace.com/pokernewscomOnce there will be some members i will organize some tournaments with added money exclusively for the each group members (passwords will be available to the registered members sent by private messages). Also I will advertise my.pokernews there, so we will have even more members.
Please help to make Pokernews community as big as possible!
Good luck!
Marius
