Places from Facebook
You are welcome to check out a new version of our mashup Places from Facebook.
Mashup lets you search for places, show them on the map, copy locations to mobile, see friends activity, check-in anywhere as well as prepare mobile web pages for customized check-ins. By default mashup shows places for the local area. But it could be used for any geographical area.
You can directly pass the following parameters to the basic URL:
lat - latitude
lng - longitude
q - query for search
lang - language code for the map (E.g.: lang=en or lang=de etc.
For example, Facebook in London
For customized check-in place owner (or advertising/marketing agency, for example) can define all the aspects of check-in - data to be posted on user's wall, data to be returned as a confirmation, Google Analytics code for stats monitoring etc. This version provides own analytics for check-ins too. And of course you can still use Facebook’s dashboard for places pages - mashup creates standard check-ins for Facebook.
Instead of customized check-ins you can create customized Like buttons for your pages
In other words – any small business can create public (or private) "Foursquare-like" system for own visitors. Using all the power of Facebook’s user base.
Also this version supports the newest API from Facebook - geo-coded postings. Now you can write reviews for Places.
P.S. And here you can see a mobile version for this mashup.
P.P.S. See also QRpon – customized check-ins for Facebook
P.P.P.S. and here you can see Places from Google for the same area.

Sure, you’ve seen advertising campaigns asked you to Like some resource (e.g. Facebook Page) in exchange for some benefits.
Now you can do it yourself. Our mashup Like Me has been updated. It lets you define your own reactions for Like buttons. More precisely, this mashup creates mobile web page that shows your own content to the visitors liked some predefined resource.
The usage model is obvious: ask visitors to like your resource and show something interesting after that (e.g. coupon, discount info) or let him download some file (report) or simply redirect user to any web resource by your choose.
Mashup lets you customize all the aspects for such usage: what should be on the original site, what resource (URL) should be liked as well as define your "after like" actions.
Mashup creates mobile web page (could be opened in any HTML5 mobile web browser). You can use link to that page in your own mobile sites (portals) or present it directly to your mobile visitors (e.g., via QR-code). You can track the perfomance for this page with Google Analytics.
Like button on the generated pages shows also the list of friends liked the selected resource. So, this system works automatically as a simple recommendation system too.
Here is an example of custom page created with this mobile web sites generation tool: 2 for 1 tasting coupon. You can check it out right from your mobile:
