Add plenty of images by using apps showcase your photo stream. This is perfect if you want to show different angles of products or samples of the services you provide. Why use the standard photo section when apps make photos more accessible?

Use two social networks at once by adding Twitter to your Facebook page. All tweets are displayed in a separate section. This lets fans know even more about what’s going on in your company.
