My First facebook App

Yup, yup, you heard me right! I built my first Facebook app — Amanda & Jennifer’s Art Gallery! Now our gallery got one more place for millions to enjoy!

Unlike the original site, this app does not require any technical skills. Through the Gift Creator app, everyone can build a site for friends and family to share gifts in no time. All you need just a theme, a group of photos, and some description for your app, and you are ready to build your app!

How comes the challenge: To make my app be noticed and used. Beside bagging and pleading friends to use it, I’m not quite sure what else one can do. As more and more apps being developed on the Facebook platform (How many are there now?), it surely gets tougher and tougher to compete for users.

A piece of nice artwork, anyone?

[05/25/2009] It’s unclear to me if it’s caused by the Facebook or the Gift Creator, but it’s been flaky to send gifts to friends. Worse, when the erratic problem occurs, my daily gift quota is gone, and that’s 50% of the time ever since I launched my little app!
