643815 - Link posted Facebook badges to Firefox 4 tab

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 645098

(Websites :: Facebook, defect)

Description

[William Reynolds [:williamr]]

Badges that have been posted to a users' wall currently link to mozilla.com. In the next couple days, we'd like to change it so once *new badges* are posted, they point users to the Firefox 4 tab on our Facebook page instead. Right now the focus is to send people to download Firefox 4, but this change will focus on having people both download and post a badge.

New link: http://www.facebook.com/Firefox?sk=app_122300121174636

Zach or Fred, can you make this change and have it pushed to a stage? Once it's ready to go to production, let's try to push it when the risk is low in case something happens. Thanks

I backported the launch day changes from prod to stage (r86127). So this is ready to be changed (and later merged to prod without data loss).

Hey guys, any updates here?  I'd like to change the link as soon as possible -- the goal here was to send folks to the custom tab so we can encourage not just downloads but sharing of badges.  Please let me know how I can help...  Thanks.

Marking this as a duplicate of bug 645098, which is more specific and has a request for tracking as well. I'm a bit ashamed that I reported both bugs.

Thanks William, I wanted to wait for you to punt it to duplicate status.
