Facebook continues its march to world domination by taking over South Africa. According to this site, there are over 90,000 Facebook users registered in South Africa. The author of the article is trying to figure out the sudden boom in Facebook use in South Africa. His theory is with the sudden growth of Facebook in the UK, South Africans with connections in the UK are starting to catch the Facebook bug.

Will Facebook File For an IPO?

Over at Seeking Alpha, Paul Kerdosky asks whether Facebook will go public with its stock. It’s a good question and one that I’ve been thinking about lately. Right now the company is brining in about $100 million in ad revenue. The article includes a quote by Justin Rosenstein, former Googler, now Facebook employee. He discusses how Facebook has been hiring aggressively across the organization. Why would Facebook be hiring aggressively? Perhaps it’s thinking of going public soon? If it does, I’m definitely buying stock in it.

Facebook Applications Reaching Saturation Point

Over at ZDNet Aisa, there’s a great article about the recent Facebook application developer meet-up. There’s some great interviews with Mark Zuckerberg about his thoughts on the first month of Facebook Platform.

What was interesting was the statistics provided by the article. According to the article in the first month of its launch, more than 40,000 developers have requested to be a part of the project. 40,000! Around 1,500 have been approved so far.

Some developers mentioned that they’re seeing Facebook app fatigue. Whether this will hurt new application releases is to be seen.

What’s Missing From Facebook Relationship Options

Jon Udell wrote a post on the lack of a “Met on the web” option when you’re asked “How do you know this person?” in the relationship status.

I’ve met a considerable amount of people through blogging and we’ve established connections on Facebook. However, when asked how we met, the only option we have is “Met randomly.”

As social networking sites become more prolific, a met on the web option on Facebook will come in handy.

Not Everyone Is Happy About The New Facebook Applications

Andrew Carega, author of the blog “Higer Ed Marketing”, has written an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg about some people’s dislike of the new Facebook Applications. Anti-Facebook applications are popping up each day.

I don’t think Mark Zuckerberg and the Facebook team should listen to these complaints. There’s always going to be grumblings whenever changes are made. I think Zuckerberg has a long term vision of where he wants Facebook to go. If he can stick to it without caving into these Luddites, Facebook has the chance to become one of the leading innovators on the internet.

Facebook Applications Facing Delays

Over at Slashdot, there’s an article about developers encountering delays getting their applications approved by Facebook. One developer has been waiting two weeks for his aplication to be approved. The author expresses concern of the lack of regulation and transperancey of Facebook in approving apps.

I don’t know where this guy is coming from. From what I understand, most developers haven’t had any problems getting their applications developed. Also, I think it’s a little to early to be complaining about Facebook Platform. It’s only been around for about a month. So, yes, there’s going to be some glitches. However, I think overall Facebook has done an excellent job implementing Platform.

What do you all think? I’d love to here from developers their experiences with Facebook Application. Drop a comment and add to the conversation.

I’ve Been Infected With a Viaral Tag

In an effort to get Best Facebook Applications off the ground and getting the word out about it, I’m going to try this viral tag train out. Hopefully this will bring some new visitors in.

================Copy and Paste below this line==============

Instructions:

1.) Copy and paste the matrix of “ViralTags” below courtesy of Founders Cafe.

2.) Substitute the Host Tag and one of the “Viral Tags” in the matrix with your anchor text of choice with your blog’s URL. Please keep anchor text to a max of 3 words to keep the matrix size manageable.

3.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your link in one of their “Viral Tags”, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Tag’s anchor text (automatically the associated link will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Tags” below.

4.) Encourage and invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.

Important: Once I get a ping back from you, I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as “Host Tag” here, replacing one of the “ViralTags” from the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copy and paste from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.
