Veterans Help On Facebook

[Matthew Alday]

I have launched a new facebook app for veterans. Varsity Dream - For Those Who Served. It can be found at http://apps.facebook.com/varsityDream . It is place for publishing stories, poems, artwork, and pictures and is deeply integrated with the facebook platform. There are no commercials and I use my own money and resources for maintaining the site. It does not compete with your site because it maintains a more abstract theme.

My hope is that you can offer a link on your website and offer veterans the possibility of viewing the Varsity Dream facebook app. In exchange, I can offer a link to your website from the facebook app. My main goal is to offer alternatives to veterans and help them find a voice so that they can share their insights in as many ways as possible. Please feel free to offer additional ideas or suggestions.

I appreciate your time,

Matthew Alday

This was a contact submission made, which I have published, as the person did the right thing by asking first, instead of self promoting. I agree with this author, it may have something to add to veterans if they choose to use it and is another medium for vets to communicate / interact with one another.

Any medium that aids communication I fully support, especially so for those who find it hard to verbalise. Thanks for letting us know.

The link doesn't look active any longer.

I just clicked it, it worked... it goes to an intro page first, then automatically to the FB community page.

Works for me too. It goes to the intro page then loads up. If your having probs Brian, check your browser settings.

Matthew,

It works but doesn't go to a FB secure page. It asks me to switch to a regular FB connection - can this be fixed to go secure?


Switch to regular connection (http)?


Sorry! We can't display this content while you're viewing Facebook over a secure connection (https).
Would you like to temporarily switch to a regular connection (http) to use this app?
You will have a secure connection upon your next login.

 

[anthony]

Why would it go to a secure page? Its a Facebook community, which anyone can create for themselves and run... they are not https. Admins of a Facebook community DO NOT have server permissions to create https protocols or such.

You, me, anyone, can create a FB community in minutes, hosted by FB.
