No matter where you are on the web, you can stay close and share with your friends through the Facebook Toolbar. Originally launched in English for the Firefox browser, we now have released an Internet Explorer version of the toolbar and made both versions available in a total of 16 languages.

You also can see how many friend requests, Inbox message and event and group invitations you have from icons near the top of your browser, and then click to view them.

I’ve just had a sneak preview of the new TypePad native app for the iPhone. It’s simply stunning! I’m not talking about the current webbased version that can be found at http://i.typepad.com/, the new app is “native” which means it’s downloaded and stored on your iPhone.

It going to be made available free of charge via the new App Store that’s available on the iPhone 2.0 software due for release on July 11th 2008.

key features of the native app are speed and ease of use with an intuitive layout that’s clearly been designed by TypePad users that own an iPhone, not just a borrowed iPhone, but one that use have been using day in and day out for some time before they start work on the app.

It is certainly no secret that in order for an internet marketing business to succeed much less thrive it will need a great deal of traffic flowing to its website.
