Official Vancouver Facebook Garage Live Blog
byUpdate: The Official Live Blog Will Begin at 5:30pm, October 23rd, 2007 over on this post.
It’s one of the top sites in the nation and anyone who is not on it yet (who had held out this long) deserves a medal.
Facebook has exploded in popularity since opening its doors to the general public last winter and along with profiles, gifts, fun walls and zombies, there are those who develop and design applications specifically for this highly-addictive monster of a site.
Join us for Vancouver’s first Facebook Developer (& Designer) Garage – a place for you to explore, get gritty, tinker, experiment, and test out your ideas for new Facebook apps.
Unconferences are a relaxed and steady flow of presentations by attendees (see BarCamp or DemoCamp). Come on our if you are a developer, Ajax enthusiast, Facebook lover, Facebook App developer or promoter, Facebook geek or Vancouver geek in general. You’ll be able to network with other developers and application creators, demo your new idea for an app, show off and promote what you’ve already made, and have a great time.
Anyone/everyone else is welcome to sign up via the Facebook event.
You can tune into my site on Tuesday, October 23rd for the Official Live Blog, sponsored by Communicate.com. Big thanks also goes to Techvibes for being the media sponsor (including Flickr shots that I will use in my live blog) and Vancouver Film School as the Venue Sponsor. Of course we cannot forget Facebook, who has officially sponsored this event as well.
