Insider Points

Hey Guys,
We just launched a new feature that we’ve been working on for a few weeks and I’d love for you to try it out.

New users can now log on to our site using their Facebook accounts, which should make it an even easier sign-up process.

However, if you already have an Edison Nation account, you still have the ability to link your EN account to your Facebook account. If you do that, we will post your progress on searches, when you start a forum post and a few other things to your Facebook wall. That means that as soon as an idea moves from one stage to the next, you and your friends will see it immediately on Facebook. You’ll help us spread the Edison Nation message and we’ll help your friends keep up with your inventing successes.

If you’d like to try it out, we’ll give you 10,000 bonus points if you connect your account by the end of the day Friday (if you’re an Insider of course)!

To connect your account, just click “log out” and then “log in.” Rather than logging in with your usual EN credentials, choose the Facebook option. Facebook provides us with a tool to determine if you already have an account on our site. If you do, we’ll link the two together.

Have fun with it!
Matt

Hey Matt, I like the F.B notices, but is there anyway to word it different? it makes appear like I wrote it…maybe write like, a member from EN submitted an idea, instead of I submitted an idea, plus the 4 F.B notices I got today didn’t change my dashboard lol… but it did change my Insider pts…my friends are thinking I’m getting spam or got hacked..lol the time difference don’t jive

I got the message below on F.B at 7 pm PST and another 3 stated around 2.30am, it makes it appear like I wrote it at 1:30 am when I should be sleeping..lol

Today at at 1:36 AM an idea I submitted to the NASCAR Live Product Search at Edison Nation moved to a new stage.

Hi Victor,
There is no email confirmation – all of the confirmation messages would have shown up on the screen as you linked the two accounts.

Hmmmm….. but my FB pages don’t seem to reflect it anywhere.
Is that normal?
The FB Like link above does show me connected though.

I am with you there. I find it too exhausting and needy for my tastes. Although, having said that, I have a page that I occasionally go to, and have set up a page for my mulberry silk duvets that I am now posting to. I also tried doing advertising on FB, but found it too expensive.

However, I did link, and see it is now on my page. And I have to admit shamelessly that I did it for the points!! How shallow!!

Are the points updated automatically, or do we have to ask for them? I don’t see my count having shot up by 10,000. Perhaps Matt can answer.

Also, I am not so sure that I want all my dashboard information splashed over my FB page. Being a reticent and retiring person, I feel uncomfortable with everyone seeing what I am doing. Does anyone feel the same?

You still might have to “friend” EN, Lanky. See if you can find them in your contacts. I linked and friended, but I honestly just did it for the points! The only activity I see in there is from people friending EN. I am very un-facebook.

Go up to Matt’s post at top – and click “LIKE” button.. then go to your FB wall and it should show up there (“so ’n so likes …”) If it shows on your wall – then you’ve got it :-)

Sorry guys, I had to unfriend you in less than 24 hours, your volume of posts would have caused my friends to unfriend me, figure out a way to control your posting and I will reconsider… :-(

Jerry,
Please give it another shot. If you still get that error, go to http://support.edisonnation.com and tell us the email address that you use on Facebook as well as the one you use on Edison Nation and we’ll look into the problem. Make sure you send in that info as a private discussion so your email address isn’t published on the support site. Thanks in advance for helping us squash a potential bug.

Thanks!
Matt

Hi Randy,
We won’t be giving up anything that would jeopardize your idea or over-share the outcome of each move.

It will say this:

An idea I submitted to the {Search Sponsor Name} Live Product Search at Edison Nation just moved to a new stage. {Link to Sponsor’s Search}
