Drivel
Posted by Chris @ 1:26 pm
The genius of Facebook is that as soon as we all signed up, they realised it was time to unleash their killer move, and launched the Facebook Platform. So firstly, congratulations for the timing. Secondly, it means developers with far too much time on their hands, and faster coders than me, have already built apps that nicely show my latest Vimeo videos and Flick photos on my Facebook profile (SubVimeo and My Flickr respectively) and Last.fm say they're building something for it too. Kudos to all those guys, only thing is it means I'm all out of ideas for what I can build with Facebook now. But I'm thinking on it. If is possible I'll try and use Facebook in Hackday, but since Facebook isn't a Yahoo or BBC thing I might not. The crux of the problem is this, I have far too many API's flying around my head trying to form that 1 shining star that will be a really really good idea, so I might just have to try and build all the crud that's whizzing around to make way for the brilliance. Hmmm. I think this blog post is part of that process, I'm getting rid of this, quite frankly, drivel, to make way for better things. Oh, and whilst I'm here another thing about Facebook, if you value your spare time don't signup, it will wipe what spare time you have, encroach on time you shouldn't give to Facebook and consume your every thought. Amazing it does that really.
I guess now that I've completed this drivel some brilliance may start to come through, oooo, I've just had an idea, probably rubbish tho....

I perscribe Vodka, answer to all my problems, clears your head of crap and lets you think happy thoughts1 shot ever 2 hours should do it, personally I prefer the glacier mint from Revolution but flavour is only important as to ensure you don't through up (I could brush my teeth with that stuff)

Hey dude, you should totally build something for Hack Day using the Facebook stuff. Just make sure you find some way to splice it together with something from the BBC or Yahoo if you want to be in the running for a prize.This comment posted by Tom

I know what you could do for Hackday. You could build something for Facebook that actually does something. :-)This comment posted by Christian Briddon
