iPublishCentral now supports posting to FaceBook and MySpace profile.

A Widget post on FaceBook

You can now use these additional features to post titles on your profile and share it with your friends. You start the word and encourage others to spread it. You have now got two new ways to do just that!

FaceBook and MySpace options in the Widget

Check for the FaceBook and MySpace icons under the share option (the “+” button) in your Widget and ViewInside. In case you do not find it, just login to iPublishCentral and enable them for your titles.

Everyone is talking about widgets these days. The publishing industry has been experimenting with widgets for some time now, with leading publishers using them to good effect.

Widgets are a great way to virally market your content . Widgets encourage readers to  take ownership of the ‘widgeted content’. They can embed the widget in their website, blog and social networking sites. The ‘buzz’ created can considerably increase the ‘ discoverability’ of a title. 

Widgets can support advertising, help in brand building and allow publishers to set different business models to suit the content.
