So my wife’s work was sponsoring a contest to create a Facebook application that promotes their brand in some way. We dragged our feet for a long time and then, at the last minute, decided to create the killer facebook app of the century. I highly encourage you to try it out–otherwise you won’t know what you’re missing.
Seriously, though, we thought of the idea on Tuesday and by Thursday night after a few caffeine-fueled evenings (and early mornings) we had a fully working app. The api is killer and it’s a great platform to spin a quick app on to make a few bucks. The best part is, you instantly get access to a user base of 30 million and counting. No wonder the Wall Street Journal today called it such a promising platform.
So check out my app and add it to your profile. Did I say please? Also, check out the Facebook developer kit. The documentation is pretty spotty, but the API itself is so simple that you can get away with just reading the source code yourself.
