ScrapBooking Online!

No Comment - Post a comment



As i was searching for ideas on doing a scrap book, i came across www.scrapblog.com which is quite an interesting website providing you with the tools necessary to start doing your scrap book online. The tour from the website is pretty well done and you'll be able to follow it easily.

The site allows you to upload your scrap book online once you are done with it. After you upload, other members will be able to view your scrap book and give they comments and rating on your scrap book. If you are lucky, your scrap book might even be featured on the main page.

I am not very sure if there's a private option to only show your scrap book to selected person. However i do hope it exists so that your private collections do not get leaked unknowingly. I am also not very sure how long this site has been running but looking at the number of users, i think the site will be quite successful. The integration and link with other major photo hosting site will increase its user base as well.

Once i signup for the site and get my first scrap book online, i'll do a proper review of the site. Till then, enjoy scraping!

No Comment - Post a comment



I have started working on my "Hello World" application and manage to get it working after several attempts. I am using PHP5 and the php5 client provided by http://developers.facebook.com The site is really the place for you to get started in developing apps for facebook. The step-by-step tutorial provided here really give you an idea of how to get started.

Although it's pretty easier to write a "Hello World" apps, it's not that straightforward to write a more advance app. The advance_demo package really provides further insights into the way facebook apps works.

Once i have figured out how things work in creating an app, i'll teach you how to make one. In the mean time, if you have any ideas for a facebook project, do drop your comments so we can work together to create an app. After that, maybe we can think of how we can monetize it. :)
