Buy Toy Story 3 Tickets on Facebook

Disney has teamed up with Facebook and pioneered an innovative way to purchase tickets for the “Toy Story 3″ without leaving Facebook and invite friends to come along.  The Disney Tickets Together app is in conjunction with Fandango.com, providing access to the majority of theaters across North America.  “The whole idea is that no friend gets left behind,” Oliver Luckett, who oversees Disney’s social media efforts, told the New York Times.

While purchasing tickets online isn’t new, integrating the power of social networking with online purchases could revolutionize movie ticket sales.  With the convenience of buying tickets right on Facebook, it could increase the number of impulse purchases and simplify the planning procss of a group movie outing.

Initiatives like this are exciting ways that web development, social media, and animation meet.  If you’re excited about how social media is changing how business is done, perhaps you should consider a career in web development and be on the cutting edge of innovation.
