After many weeks of developing in my free time, I can finally announce a new Talkbackr feature.

For those of you who don’t know anything about Talkbackr, it’s a website (talkbackr.com) that allows for free, anonymous feedback to organizations for events. Let’s say your organization is putting on a production of Romeo & Juliet. You can create a free event in Talkbackr, then give out the URL to your audience, and they can sign into Talkbackr later and give anonymous feedback. It’s 100% free.

There is a premium section that provides some completely optional features, but they are by no means required to partake fully in the Talkbackr experience.

So that sounds great, right? Free, anonymous feedback. Well, I got to thinking. Why should you have to send your audience to my site to do that? Why not just get them to leave feedback via Facebook? And that thought led to other thoughts, and those thoughts to other thoughts, and those thoughts led to me being hungry because thinking is hard work, and that hunger led to pizza, and my sated hunger led to other thoughts, and then THOSE thoughts to action, and then…

Introducing the new Talkbackr Facebook Widget.

The idea is simple. It boils down to this: you can set up a Talkbackr Now! tab on your organization’s Facebook page (because, let’s face it, every organization has one, and if you don’t have one — GET ONE), and then your audience can leave feedback via that tab instead of having to leave Facebook. It’s the ultimate in convenience.

So how do you sign up? It’s really simple and can be done in three easy steps:

1) Sign into your Talkbackr account and go to the My Account section. There is a box that says “Get your Facebook Widget API Key”, and underneath it provides an API key.
2) Follow the three steps under the API key. (Recursive steps, oh my!.)
3) Shoot me an email with photos of you and your organization flipping out about how awesome the new Talkbackr Facebook Widget is.

Okay, you don’t have to do the third step. But do let me know if you have any questions or comments or whatever. I’m excited about it, and I think you guys will be to.

Enjoy!

P.S. This is totally in BETA. That means there are bugs. If you report them to me, I will fix them as soon as I can.
P.P.S. Regular website widget to come soon. (And by “soon” I mean whenever I get around to it, which depends entirely on how successful the FB widget is, so… get crackin’, people.)
