<p>Let me say that again. We get alot of traffic from facebook.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if we&#8217;re helping a local client out or if we&#8217;re working in a niche online, facebook is a huge traffic source for everything that we do.</p>
<p>In all of our testing we&#8217;ve determined that images are a huge part of how we get that traffic. Having those images be the correct size for working with facebook is important so I always have a nice &#8220;FB Image Size Cheat Sheet&#8221; in front of me.</p>
<p>I figured that you might be able to get some use out of it, so I thought I&#8217;d share.</p>
<p><em><strong><a href="http://benadkins.s3.amazonaws.com/FBIMAGE.pdf" target="_blank">You can DL my &#8220;FB Image Size Cheat Sheet&#8221; Right Here.</a> &lt;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</strong></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hope this helps you save some time!</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">-Dr B.</p>

<p>The problem is that managing all the payment issues as well as adding members was extremely time consuming. Facebook was the perfect social platform for the membership but it definitely had some shortcomings. I decided that we needed to build something to make it easier and I contacted two of my extremely talented developer friends and asked them to partner with me on the project.</p>
<p>Babblemob is what we came up with.</p>
<p>Check it out at <a href="http://www.babblemob.com" target="_blank">http://www.babblemob.com</a> (I think you&#8217;ll dig it)</p>
