I’ve had a Facebook account for a few months now but never really did much with it. To tell you the truth I wasn’t that impressed with Facebook. Of all of the social networks I do frequent Facebook just looked to plain and bland to me.

However tonight after receiving a notice from Facebook that a possible old schoolmate may have joined I decided to login again and see what all there is to do there.

So I finished filling out my profile, uploaded some pictures and searched for other classmates and sent friend requests to them. Hmm.. took all of 20 minutes and I was bored again.

Then I happen to stumble on the Facebook apps section and discovered a land of hidden treasures. The apps section is where all of the good stuff you can do on Facebook is hidden. Believe me there is a LOT of Facebook apps to be had thats for sure.

After fooling around in there a while it hit me…  “Why not create my own app for Facebook?”

I certainly have the knowledge and they do provide all of the tools to get you started so I decided to go for it. What kind of app I am going to develop I am not sure of yet. But I would like for it to be something fun for everyone to enjoy using.

So thats my goal for this summer, to develop my own Facebook application and see how popular it turns out to be. If you’d like to try your hand at it I found an excellent PHP tutorial on Facebook development. You can visit it here:
