Just wanted to let you know about a very cool product we recently released. It accelerates turning your Flash and HTML/JavaScript widgets into a Facebook app. Hence, we call it -- the App Accelerator for Facebook. The best part? Absolutely no coding needed (no need to learn FBML! How cool is that?). Plus, it has some really great extra special features such as:
- Facebook news feeds, friend invites, and a comment wall all hook you into the heart of Facebook’s powerful social graph
- Inclusion in the Facebook application directory with your name as the developer of the app
- The chance to make money with our new DevShare program
Over 300 apps have been made by you guys in just over a week and we've gotten some great feedback from users. Also, Cnet and Mashable tested it out and aside from some bugs here and there (thanks for finding those, guys!), they said it was fast and easy.
The Widgetbox team worked really hard to get this out the door and our next version is coming soon so stay tuned! Big thanks to Moses, Giles, Grant, Ethan, Omar, Dave, Chris, George, and Julie for the outstanding effort. They worked many a long night to get this up and running for all of you. We hope you like it!
I also wanted to provide more detail on our DevShare program which is a feature of the App Accelerator. DevShare allows you to make money off your new-found Facebook fame. You just click the check box after you make your app. All we need from you is the email address attached to your PayPal account, and we split any revenue earned with you 50/50. Where does the money come from, you ask? Well, we just signed a partnership with RockYou we're super excited about. They're going to help us sell ad inventory on your app, with which they have had great success. We have other partners in the pipeline which will give you even more opportunities to make some moolah through DevShare – both on Facebook and off.
Let us know what you're thinking. We'd love feedback on the product and ideas you have to make it better. As always, thanks for using Widgetbox!
