Facebook Developer Garage - Part 2
August 7th, 2007
Jay Goldman explains the anatomy of a facebook application.
Applications go into the application directory
- make it look pretty!
- use good keywords, be descriptive
The about page:
- This page can be really used to sell users on the app. Make it convincing!
Application left nav:
- The icon and name are important so that the user remembers what it looks like so they can find it
Canvas
- Where your application's app is displayed
- Put compelling content on the canvas page, ex: information from your friends
Dashboard
- should contains the user's data, rather than the data from their friends
Privacy settings
- consider what will happen if the user turns any of them off
Infecting
- profile action links
- news feed
- message attachments .. you can attach pretty much anything!
- requests: you can only invite ten friends per day
