Ooochie: A Ruby Developer’s Journal

Well, my friends, I have officially graduated to a new level of nerdiness (or so I've been told).... I wrote a facebook application! It may not be pretty, complex, or anywhere near perfect-- but I wrote it all myself, and I already have 164 users since submitting it last night!

It's a simple app that, when given the user's myspace url, steals the photo off the myspace page and places it in the user's facebook profile. The picture serves as a link to the user's myspace page.

So, nerd-factor aside, I think it's pretty darn cool. If you have a facebook and a myspace account, go check out my fantastic application. You can find it at http://apps.facebook.com/myspace_fb.

Maybe if I feel ambitious I will post about developing a facebook app, but for now I will just link you to those who have already done so. Liverail has a nice tutorial that helped me out a bunch, and the follow-up is here.

Happy Facebooking!
