oops! Here's the right link.

My link to show off the Tires Tires Tires connection between Facebook and Joomla had a bad link.
Here's the right address for Tires Page at Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TiresTiresTires
The Special Offers page is pulled into Facebook from this page on their website, which is completely controlled by their content management system (Joomla), making management of timed offers automatic. 
When the deal ends, it disappears from both Joomla and Facebook without any intervention. 
We can also start content by date and time, or even run the same content every Wednesday, with different content on Thursday, and on Friday... (think daily specials).

Thanks to Brad Prose at LinkedIn who caught the flub!

Mesa Web Design - Connecting Joomla and Facebook

Well here's a cool new trick.  For some time we've been connecting Facebook back to our websites so our clients can add content at their Facebook Page and have it show up on their website. 
That's kind of old hat now.
What about going the other way?
The first question of course is why?  It's a great way to use one of the great features of Joomla: Content Time Control.  You see, in Joomla, you can set a piece of content to start or end by time. 
Let's say you have a special offer that ends on July 13th.  You can add the content to your website and set it to expire.  When July 14th arrives, Joomla will automatically remove that page from your site.
If you display your Joomla content inside Facebook, Joomla will remove the content at Facebook, too.
For an example, go to www.Facebook.com/TiresTiresTires and visit the Special Offers page.  You'll find a set of content that looks a lot like this page at www.tires3.com.  We've set Facebook to actually pull the content from the Tires Tires Tires website.
As you can see, we're a little restricted by the narrower shaped space that Facebook gives us, but the content shines through. 
We can also make that page the home page for our Facebook followers - even presenting different content based on whether they have Liked us or not.
Can you see some of the possibilities?
It's a cool way to connect your website and your social media and leverage the benefits of each while making your life easier.
