Search News Headlines Application For Facebook

Dec 21, 2007 at 7:50am ET by Danny Sullivan

Finally, Barry and I can share an application that we’ve been cooking up – Search News For Facebook. Install this, and by default you’ll get the top headlines from Search Engine Land and Search Engine Roundtable combined, showing on your Facebook profile page. You can also add your own feed or any feeds you like using the applications settings.

You’ll notice there’s also a thermometer that runs alongside the headlines, designed to show you what we predict the day’s temperature in terms of search news will be. Barry and I always have a lot of fun with this, trying to figure out at the start of the day how busy it will likely be. Now we can put our predictions out to the public.

Want this for iGoogle? It’s coming, as well as for anything that can handle OpenSocial. Hang in there! And have feedback about the app? Let us know below!

Don’t forget. You can also use these options to put headlines from us and a variety of other places on your preferred start pages:
