Facebook continued

Well the application is out there. It's an Advent Calendar for facebook and can be found here (you will be asked to login if you are not already). Obvioulsy by it's nature, it doesn't do anything until December 1st, so please be patient!

But this app was a test really, and it has raised further things that I will do next time, such as store every facebook ID when someone installs the app (and remove them when they remove the app) so that I have a proper count of users. This time, I will only be storing the ID if and when they actually open their advent calendar.

It's been interesting to see the burst in activity and installs when the app hit the Facebook directory. Of course, now there are a few more advent calendars, but that's to be expected. It'ss be interesting to see what activity levels do on December 1st when people start opening their calendars.

The other amazing thing is just how broad Facebook is. We don't store the information, but we blip it past on a staus screen that monitors server activity (with a nice jingle bell sound of course!). We've got installs ALL over the world! Quite amazing, and changes some of our affiliate plans considerably...

Anyway, roll on December 1st...
