Unmatched
Flexibility
ShortStack is more than just a collection of widgets -- it's a powerful,
flexible toolbox for building any type of custom iframe tab you can imagine
for your Facebook Page.
- Use widget scheduling to create time-based promotions and rotate content automatically.
- Set visibility options to show different content for fans and non-fans -- fangating and fan reveal tabs are a snap!
- Control your entire design with CSS, a live preview of your tab as you build it, access to javascript and jQuery, and embedding of third-party widgets.
Sweepstakes and
Contests
Create a Sweepstakes or Contest right on your Fan Page to build fan
interaction. ShortStack makes it easy to create custom entry forms, select
winners and more - all while staying within Facebook's Official Promotion
guidelines.
Fan-Only Content
Choose who gets to view your content - every ShortStack widget can be made
visible to fans, non-fans, or both! Unlike static FBML, ShortStack's fan-only
content can't be viewed in the page source code, so there's no cheating your
fan gates.
Multiple Widgets Per
Page
Forget apps - ShortStack uses Widgets! Design your tab the way you
want by adding unlimited widgets per tab. It's only one-click to add a new
widget, and rearranging is simple!
Custom Contact
Forms
Need a reservations form, survey, "contact us" form or something entirely
custom? The Custom Form Widget lets you add pre-built and custom fields to
your form, and entries can be either emailed directly to you or saved to your
own database for easy viewing and exporting. Database storage feature
requires a paid plan.
Customize Tab
Icons and Labels
Customize your tab's icon and label to match your brand with ShortStack's
Custom Publish option. Give your custom tabs any label and icon you
like. ShortStack's underlying applications are created under your own
Facebook account, so you have complete control over branding when your Page's
content is shared. If you're an agency representing a brand, this is a
feature you can't do without!
Video Embed
Easily showcase your videos or configure a playlist from YouTube or Vimeo
that updates automatically.
Flash Embed
Add the power of Flash to your iframe tab quickly and easily by using the
built-in Media Manager and Flash Widget.

in your info and watch ShortStack pull in the pics. Fans can view your images
easily without having to leave Facebook.

share mp3s, podcasts, original songs, or anything else you can record and
upload to SoundCloud.com
