I signed up to Facebook yesterday. There were several reasons. One of which being that I could develop a Facebook app. I’ve seen many good tutorials on how to build a simple application including this one from NetTuts.

Even integrating some of my existing projects with Facebook will be good because Facebook has a large user base and a thriving community. Facebook seems ideal for getting feedback on an App and increasing your own user base.

I have to say that I’m finding Facebook rather surreal and overwhelming. People poke each other and write on walls! And I seem to be bombarded with emails. If you join Facebook the first thing you should do is disable email notifications for just about everything.

I’ve managed to find some old friends from when I used to live in France. No doubt they won’t remember me at all but I hope that Facebook can put us back in touch. After all school starts back tomorrow and I’m studying French!
