Do you have a Face­book fan page for your small busi­ness? or your product?

one of the most bizarre things that i see fan pages do (yes, even fan pages for major brands) is to set the “Default View for Wall” (see 2 in screen­shot) to “Only Post by Page”. i think that com­pletely defeats the pur­pose of face­book fan pages.

By set­ting “Only Post by Page”, all inter­ac­tion by your fans, includ­ing valu­able feed­back.… gets cen­sored. As a fan, i’m not gonna post some­thing that doesn’t get dis­played or doesn’t get read!

Expla­na­tion: Typ­i­cally, there are 4 options for Wall Post. using Makan­Deals as an example:

1. Makan­Deals + Oth­ers — All Posts
2. Just Makan­Deals — Post by Admins only
3. Just Oth­ers — Post by Fans
4. Spam — Post marked as Spam (man­u­ally or auto­mat­i­cally by facebook)

Option 2: Makes your face­book fan page, a 1-way com­mu­ni­ca­tion channel.

So if you are admin for any fan pages, do an analy­sis of what you want to do with your face­book fan page.

Steps to fea­ture “All Posts” on your Face­book Fan Page

1. Make sure, you are the admin for your fan page
2. Click on Set­tings (see 1 in screenshot)
3. Make sure “Default View for Wall” is set to “All Posts”
4. Get ready to clean up some spam!

Just received word from our office designer that our office design has been fea­tured in the cur­rent issue of “Cubes” (in sin­ga­pore) and here’s another magazine.

Google {“Thin office” Sin­ga­pore}… our office is nick­named “thin office”, i’m sure that is a future sign of things to hap­pen… i might be get­ting thinner?

Look out for our in-house part-time mod­els: Tzin & Teck (not thin)

say hi to our new office pets & plants!

MakanDeals.com marks Kidotech’s first foray into the con­sumer mar­ket, after work­ing on enter­prise web/ mobile projects for the past 6 years.

MakanDeals.com is an online-only mar­ket­place plat­form, where users are able to get dis­counted din­ing deals with our restau­rant part­ners. We work out long term agree­ments with restau­rants and bring these deals to the users.

MakanDeals.com choose our Restau­rant Part­ners carefully.

• Good food/ atmosphere/ crowd ( Each part­ner restau­rant is clearly defined and described by Makan­Deals; We want to be your reli­able guide to din­ing in Singapore.)
• Reli­able & trusted ( We want part­ners who are com­mit­ted to our users and deals; the last thing we want is for the con­sumer to turn up and run into prob­lems using their vouchers)
• Long-term rela­tion­ship (Busi­ness is a rela­tion­ship, we want to prove our busi­ness model and pro­vide a valu­able ser­vice to both the restau­rants & users. And we expect to build on this rela­tion­ship over time.)

So if you see a restau­rant that you like on MakanDeals.com, you know that we have per­son­ally tried each one of them and can whole­heart­edly rec­om­mend them.

Some of our partners:
