Facebook Developer Garage Singapore Powered by Intel
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for this. The Facebook Developer Garage Singapore is back and this time round, it’s powered by Intel. We are running it alongside the Social Networking World Forum Singapore event for an extra dose of social networking nirvana. Best part of it all, it’s free. RSVP HERE!
Back in 2007, we ran Asia’s first Facebook Developer Garage where we had bigwigs like Trey Phillips, winner of the F8 hackton. We were also fortunate enough to have Dave Morin, Senior Platform Manager at Facebook, to join in via video conferencing. The pictures are a testament of the buzz and vibrancy of the local Facebook developers community.
Since then, Singapore startups have take a greater interest in using Facebook as the platform for their applications. Tyler Projects has since hit the million user mark with over USD$50,000 in revenue per month. Various other applications such as FAME, Piecehunters and even Fresboo have launched on the Facebook platform. While the platform has had it’s fair share of critics, from the sporadic user engagement to the lack of a viable payment model, it is not doubt that the Facebook platform is here to stay.
