Facebook Developers

Developers - Now is the time to build education applications on Facebook Platform! Facebook will be phasing out its Courses feature in early August, and we wanted to make sure you were the first to know.

Collaboration services and applications are a big part of the world of Education. Especially on college campuses, where we first found our roots. Many of you have probably used some kind of collaboration software as a part of your courses. Our courses application was a great way to connect with new friends, and find your classmates. But, we think Facebook Developers can create even more robust ways to create, connect, and collaborate around teaching and learning in the classroom.

This is a great business opportunity, with vast distribution potential, and a great way to fundamentally affect an important part of the lives of students worldwide.

Congratulations to Trey Philips for winning the Red Bull Flight Experience Award for most users since the Facebook Platform Launch on May 24, 2007.

Trey's app Extended Info has grown to over 130,000 users since it was built and launched at the F8 hackathon.

Honorable Mention goes to Zachary Burt of Lamefactor and Martin Mroz and Larry Gadea for their Books application.

Keep the awesome applications coming!
