Facebook.....Pretty Damn good

I started using Facebook quite recently. Until before that i was using another social networking platform, "orkut" which was quite popular in my university.

I had heard a lot of about Facebook from many tech blogs like techcrunch and how popular it is among youth and professional people alike.

Right from the time i started using Facebook, i liked it. Some features i really like are

• the "news feed" which gives me a quick update on what my friends are doing and get in touch with them.
• upload as many photos as you want and tag people within it.
• and the most lovely feature, add 'applications" from many available. Applications are miny widgets which you can add customize, delete. It can be anything like maintaining a list of you favorite youtube videos, having a mini music player in your profile to play online music etc. The best part is you can develop these applications and add it to the Facebook Application pool. You can use Facebook API to develop these applications.

Presently i am learning how to develop these applications with ASP.net and C#. I will write more once i start creating a mini application.

I would highly encourage everyone to give facebook a try.
