There is no doubt that Facebook is the hottest technology now. Why did I say “Technology”? Well, Facebook is just more than a social network where people share medias and get to know each other. It’s working more as a tool to build network, presenting an environment/resources to manage, and create a better communication among networkers. So it’s not surprising that a lot of power business users using Facebook nowadays, and here are three kickass Facebook applications that make their life a lot easier.

When installed, this tool lets you update your Facebook status, track contacts status as well as notifications right within the outlook. You can say, this little tool by TechHit simply integrates Facebook into your outlook.

Installation and initial configurations are straight forward 4 steps process, which require allowing permission for FBlook from Facebook. So far, this program has no reported bugs or security threats.

Professional profile

Since business users need to show off their professional charisma and achievements, a Professional profile/resume is a must have element. But how many times you are going to create a profile for each social web site you join? Not so practical, not to mention the recommendation you have on your profile is the Trustmark that defines your credibility.

So this little tool does what its name says, it lets you create a professional profile on Facebook. You can as well sync your LinkedIn profile and recommendations. Write and receive recommendations from your Facebook friends and colleagues. Resume/profile can be viewed within a professional realm, means no outside interference.
