Site Promotion with a Benefit

I've been busy coding and still have much to do, but if a site is ever to go anywhere promotion is a necessary component also. The big question: "How to stimulate interest and traffic in the site?" Promotion can be as much of a full time job as coding. It has sadly been neglected up to this point. Picking what to work on is sometimes a love/hate relationship. Anyhow here is the Facebook component of the promotion puzzel:

I have not tried this in MySpace or Bebo, but the concept should still work. If you want to meet a friend at a particular place, ask a date to go to dinner, or whatnot: CONSIDER POSTING A PROXIMITYCAST PICTURE of the place of interest in a message to your friend, date, etc. Sorry for shouting... smile.
Here is the nice things about using ProximityCast for this:

  1. ProximityCast pictures or location oriented!

  2. It is easy to get the link of a desired picture location!

  3. If you can't find the place you want, it is easy to submit your own picture of the place!



NOTE: See Authorized Social Sharing post for the new approved method for getting a link to share in a social networking site.



See... As easy as 1,2,3. Impress your date or friend by showing them exactly what you have in mind.
Okay, so how do I get the link to a desired location to post in my message?



  • Cast for the desired category in the area of interest.

  • Click MAP VIEW when cast completes.





  • In the SideBar click the desired establishment to make the Info Popup appear.









Till next time,
ciao my friends!
