Microsoft own a share of Facebook, and whats interesting to note is that there is a Facebook Developer Toolkit available for the Express editions of C#, VB and Web Developer. Facebook is a truly open platform and framework. Is Facebook dead? Or will it continue growing? Who knows.

Facebook has a newish look and feel, feels like things are a bit more spaced out.

Ideas for Facebook applications

Social media is the new craze and one of the most popular platforms is Facebook. Facebook allows its users to develop applications which other users can add and use. So today I thought about a list of applications that I might use on Facebook.

Applications for Facebook can generally be grouped in two areas, business and entertainment. My focus is towards business. I can think of two ways of using Facebook so far:

Advertise your product(s): Use Facebook to advertise your products and allow people to browse through your products.
Advertise your service(s): Here I was thinking that maybe I allow developers and graphic designers to list themselves and find out about freelance work.
An application for Facebook questions: An application that allows you to post questions directly from your website to Facebook questions.

Wordbook and Armin van Buuren ASOT ep 356

While chilling to Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance Episode 356 I decided to instal Wordbook, a plugin that:

Use your WordPress blog to publish updates to your Profile Mini-Feed and your friends’ News Feeds.

It takes a few seconds to download the WordBook plugin and a few more seconds to extract the contents and upload it to a webserver. Once uploaded go to “Settings”, where you will be prompted to provide a one-time code, which is generated through Facebook. The code just allows you to post on WordPress and this allows the posts to be displayed on your Facebook profile, without having to login to Facebook. This is my first post with this plug in! So I will see if it works!

Its sad to say but the WordPress theme directory is not up to scratch. The themes seem old and out of date. I have added a new theme called TechJunkie and it seems like a pretty awesome theme.
