Sorry for not writing to you for such a long time. The facebook platform application ‘Soulmate’ has been a huge success. A number of people are joining the site from Facebook.

Many Facebook® Users have not completed the Sign up process. I have made a tutorial video that will guide all the Facebook Users to use the Soulmate Application:

Please note that once you have signed up, Editing your profile is essential. Kindly do it immediately after the activation of your account.

I will like to request all facebook users to invite their friends and to give publicity to this no profit endeavour. Facebook Users can also use the gift utilities in ‘Soulmate’ to generate awareness about this.

Please feel a sense of belongingness for this site and recommend it to all.

Unbelievable but true! Facebook Shaadi is now a reality. Om Shaadi Om is now available as a full application on facebook. Name of the application is Soulmate. That means that once the facebook users start using this application, they can communicate with all the members of this site without any problems. In fact, according to the directory listings, ‘Soulmate’ is the only matrimonial application on facebook. You may also visit the fan page on Facebook by clicking the ‘Hearty’.

I am working on a very lucid and very good interface for the site on facebook and otherwise also. Please do have patience and continue using the site till then. The new interface will have many new features and will be very user friendly. Cheers!

Om Shaadi Om- The eternally free matrimonial website will soon be integrated with Facebook- the world’s best social networking website, a site that has redfined the word ‘Social’ and Social Networking.

I have been playing around with FBML- Face Book Markup Language, XFBML for last 3-4 days, and am liking it and enjoying it very much.

An example of Facebook Integration could be seen on this blog itself i.e. http://www.omshaadiom.org/blog

The blog is using this feature called Facbeook Connect. Using Facebook Connect, the facebook users can connect to this blog and post messages. Their profile pictures and names will come automatically in the comments they are posting. It took me sometime to implement this as no ready-made plugin was available for wordpress 2.8. However, the WP Facebook Connect worked well after modifications.

Still some changes have to be made in the code for Connect.

Very soon, the entire site will be fully connected to Facebook. I am working hard on it. It will be available readily to the Facebook users as an application.

So after this it will be like a ‘Facebook Shaadi’ for all. I believe that this matrimonial application has immense potential.

With warm regards,

Om Shaadi Om

Signing Off and getting down to business i.e. Breakfast first and then Facebook Programming!
