NetworkedBlogs
This app allows you to import your blog feed and also any blogs you wish to follow directly into Facebook in a separate neat tab. You can syndicate your blog posts to be published directly to your Wall, allow friends to vote on your posts, follow your blog, create a blog widget and more. You blog is also submitted to the NetworkedBlogs directory.

UPDATE:
Facebook has currently discontinued adding tabs to personal profiles. Hence the NetworkedBlogs app is no longer displayed as a tab, though you can still post to your profile.
Static FBML
With Static FBML you can incorporate more advanced functions with your Fan Page, supporting HTML as well as FBML (Facebook Markup Language) for a more involved and engaging Fan Page on Facebook.

Special Mention:
Promotions for Fan pages
If you need a robust tool for the creation of marketing campaigns to run on your Facebook Fan Pages, then the Promotions for Fan pages is the perfect app for you. You can create Fan Page options for contests, coupons, sweepstakes, giveaways and other types of user interactive features. These are necessary features for many brands, as they look to centralize much of their social interaction around an established network such as Facebook.

Signup Form for pages
From the same developers as the Promotions for Fan pages app, the Signup Form for pages app aims to provide similar functionality with a more focused set of features. Fan Page administrators looking to better connect with users outside of direct interactions on their Facebook Fan Page can allow users to sign up for a service, product, newsletter or additional information. Gathering this info from directly within the Facebook Fan Page limits a user's need to be redirected or potentially confused by having to leave the Facebook site.

Create your family tree and include your relatives both on and off Facebook. Showcase your genealogy on your profile and use this application to find new relatives on Facebook.

Terrific Post! I am really into social media right now (like everyone else out there!), especially Facebook Marketing and FBML. It can be hard to keep up to date with such a fast changing innovative topic but I manage to do it through the fan page factory (http://facebook.com/thefanpagefactory) and blog posts exactly like yours. Tips and tricks rock. I am trying to learn as much as possible to put myself ahead of the curve. So thank you again!
Enjoy,
Aaron
