I’m building Facebook Applications

Well, since I’m out of b5media now, I’ve been busy with building Facebook Applications. Actually, a whole slew of them.

I won’t mention any specific Application names right now, but hopefully we’ll hit the half-million-users point soon in terms of the total number of users that we have across all of our Applications. A few of our applications are even in the top 100 most popular application list.

You may also have noticed that my Facebook profile has recently been having a major make-over. No, it’s not turning into a MySpace profile! I’ve just been testing out so many Facebook Applications that I end up just leaving them there :)

I’m also building a few Applications for other people as well; a few are in the education world, helping students with their notes, and others are more oriented towards the business-minded people.

Hopefully I’ll have fancy graphs and statistics to show in the near future ;)

    Gary, congrats on getting some applications in the top 100. I even have a friend with one of them installed. I would be interested in knowing what you are using as a server and how much bandwidth it takes to create a popular application. I am guessing you used PHP, or did you go with Java or something else?

    Paul, I went with PHP for rapid development.

    Bandwidth trumps space by far. I can handle the storage space, but the traffic that I get at peak hours is just massive. I’ll post numbers hopefully in the coming days.
