I have been using this wonderful addition to Facebook recently, called Scrapplet which has just been developed and launched by Steve Repetti.

I have always found Facebook to be a bit limiting in terms of creating and displaying photos, music, notes etc in a personal and artistic way.  Everything seemed so isolated. That was until I discovered Scrapplet which is an addon for Facebook allowing users to create their own totally unique pages called scrapplets by simply dragging and dropping content from the web or using their existing media in Facebook.

“Use the power of Facebook and the Internet to share your Scrapplet creations. Send invites, update messages, and email links to your friends, family, and associates”.

Below is a video by Steve Repetti, introducing all the bells and whistles Scrapplet has to offer.

Using Scrapplets on Facebook is very addictive and I’ve been hooked since I discovered it.  Having this renewed interest in Facebook re. Scrapplets has made me realise what a useful site Facebook is and I had no idea it offered so many possibilities which can be now made even more dynamic and creative by integrating Scrapplets.

For instance, I have found it a wonderul new tool for marketing my work as an artist and photographer and it has opened up a new world of sharing my arwork to a wide audience in various formats including photo galleries, slideshows and videos. Scraplets can contain multimedia such as still photos, text, menus, RSS Feeds, YouTube videos, Photobucket or Flickr widgets, buttons with links, decorative backgrounds etc.  Creativity abounds and they are fun to do.  It’s really like producing mini websites that you can simply create and share and anyone can easily pick up the tools and start making Scrapplets.  Sign up for Facebook if you don’t have an account and give it a go – you will love it!
