Late last week, Facebook launched the Fan Box widget (see ours to the right) to help users more efficiently connect their Fan Pages to their other Web entities. The Fan Box promotes their Page and can help grow membership by being easily embedded on any Web site. The widget consists of a few Fan icons (shown at random), a button to allow people to become a Fan and an optional stream displaying Wall Posts from the Fan Page.

Why is this important? Simply, it’s going to help better leverage your social media presence on the Internet by allowing people to easily connect with you on multiple channels. It’s like a free ad promoting your Fan Page. Post it on your blog or Web site so your visitors know they can also connect with you on Facebook.

The more places you are connected to your audience, the greater opportunity you have to stay top-of-mind. The Fan Box is just one more way to help your fans connect those dots.
