Pemaquid builds Facebook app for Portland Diner
July 23rd, 2007
Played around w/t/ Facebook Platform over the weekend, and was able to create an app for Portland Diner. Now, members of Facebook’s Portland, ME network (and anyone else, for that matter) can add the Portland Diner app to their profile and check out local restaurant listings right there – which is of course why Facebook created the platform in the first place – to allow developers to create tools that would make the user experience at FB more engaging and – shall we say – “sticky”.
There are a few minor bugs in the CSS – Facebook doesn’t allow linked CSS and rewrites inline sheets placed in the <style> tags – but it seems to work just fine. There are other wrinkles – no javascripts are allowed, and Facebook requires that developers use a subset of HTML called, naturally, FBML. SQL can become FQL and there are some proprietary tags that include an “FB:”.
If you have a Facebook account and live in Portland, Maine, you might find the Portland Diner app useful. Go get it here. We’d love to know what you think; please let us know.
