Build an iCal feed from your WordPress posts (plugin)
45 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
I’ve created a WordPress plugin which creates an iCal feed from your blog posts. It creates a calendar which can be added to pretty much any popular website (such as Google Calendar) or application (such as Microsoft Outlook).
I built this because I wanted to see when I made my WordPress posts, in a more graphical interface. I already used Google Calendar, so I would have loved to see my posts right in my calendar.

Facebook Applications that I am working on (nearly 2 million users and growing fast!)
10 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
It’s time I dispel some of the mystery surrounding the Facebook Applications that I have been spending my time building these past few months. I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I have been spending time building Facebook Applications on the Platform. Well, it’s time I mentioned what I’ve been working on.
A large number of the applications that I’ve built from the ground up with a partner (who wishes to remain nameless) consists of one group, which are basically TV shows, and another group, which contain several sports.

My thoughts on building Applications on the Facebook Platform
3 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
I’ve been working with the Facebook Platform for a few weeks now, and I have built a few dozen applications on it. It’s been a very interesting experience so far, not only because I have access to millions of users immediately, but also because of the unique development environment that is offered to me right from the start.
Developing for the Facebook platform is very different from other environments that I have worked with, including vBulletin when I was building forums, and WordPress when I was working at b5media, a blog network.

Post Stumbler WordPress plugin
20 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
I’m releasing a plugin which I’ll call the Post Stumbler WordPress plugin (originally to be called the “Stumble Upon” WordPress plugin, but it doesn’t use Stumble Upon at all - even though it tries to mimic its functionality) because that will help most people to understand what it does.
After building this, I found a post that was made over at TechCrunch which discusses about how it would be interesting if WordPress could have similar functionality to what Stumble Upon provides, so I hope that this fulfills that need.

Table of Contents for WordPress plugins
1 Comment - CLICK HERE to see! »
Do you have a lot of WordPress plugins and want an easier way of browsing them all? Would a Table of Contents for all of them help you browse through them faster? Then this WordPress plugin modification is for you!
First of all, here’s how it will look like in the end (I’ve hidden some plugins that I’d prefer not to appear in the screenshot):

Zoho is now on Facebook - or is it?
1 Comment - CLICK HERE to see! »
Zoho just announced that they released their Zoho office suite as a Facebook Application. When I saw this, I installed it on Facebook to give it a test drive.
Immediately after installing the application, I noticed that I need to STILL have a Zoho account even though I’m already on Facebook and they should just be able to identify me from my Facebook account. TechCrunch poses a similar question.

Get paid to be someone else
2 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
Looks like people are starting to get paid to be someone else on places like Facebook. People are even paying $2,000 USD or more for someone else to act as them on Facebook, on other social networks, on blogs, on forums, and other places online. Read the rest of the story here.

Facebook profiles need a “Table of Contents”
3 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
I’ve browsed through a few of my friends’ Facebook profiles recently, and I think they need a “Table of Contents” of sorts, or at least, make one appear when the profile is too long.
Why do I say this?
Because it gets annoying when scrolling through a Facebook profile that is several pages long (I’ve seen a lot that are easily more than 10 pages long if printed out).
Facebook is starting to look like a (more organized) MySpace every day - now if only there was a table of contents at the top of every profile that helped you quickly jump to certain sections of the profile, then it would help browsing considerably - AND it would show you what the person had on their profile, just in case you wanted to find out what their favorite music was, if you wanted to post on their wall, or if they were going to the same music concert that you are going to next week!
Here is an example of how it could look like:
