Multiple webcams and a iPhone app are really smart ideas from Pizza Party in Santa Clara, California.
Anyone Can Make A Facebook App and $$$
11 10 2009A new Facebook application offers ordinary users the opportunity to build their own applications.
App Bank has a simple and intuitive interface which means that non-programmers now have the tools build a Facebook app themselves without engaging the services of a professional.
AppBank is free to use and even pays people to create applications with it. According to AppBank their top-earner makes $769 a month. At the moment only users in the USA and Canada can take advantage of the revenue stream from Facebook advertising but that is sure to change in the future.
Whilst AppBank provides the tools to build a facebook app, there will be many businesses where they will still want to hire someone to do this for them. This will enable new companies to provide these development services where ideas people don’t need costly programmers to build their envisioned application.
If you want a Facebook application created for your company, get in touch with Simon Says Media.
With a hat tip to MomGadget.

University launches iPhone app for freshers
22 09 2009
According to their own website:
“As students across the country return to university for freshers week, the University of Central Lancashire has become the first UK university to launch its own featured iPhone application.”
The story continues:
“The app was developed during the summer recess and makes use of many existing UCLan services. These include fast webmail access, a comprehensive library catalogue, staff directory, a list of campus facilities and the option for students to top up their printing accounts. Students can also book a meeting room in any of the university libraries by using the iPhone application.
Further plans to enhance the app include making use of the iPhone’s location functionality to improve the search of services across campus and the development of an innovative news service. The app can be downloaded free from the Apple App Store and is compatible with both the iPhone and iPod touch.”
The university is using existing systems to add value to its “users”. Could you build an iPhone app around parts of your business to add value to customers?
