Facebook Is The New Black

Everyone is talking about Facebook and their new Application Platform:

• Techcrunch - Facebook Launches Facebook Platform; They are the Anti-MySpace
• Mashable - Facebook Powertools: 150+ Apps, Scripts and Add-ons for Facebook
• Digg - The Impact of Facebook’s Platform
• Mashable - Facebook Platform: 30+ Awesome Applications for Facebook
• Valleywag - Developers, beware. Facebook really is the new Microsoft.
• Facebook’s Blog Post on the Facebook Platform
• Inside Facebook - Hottest Facebook Apps: July 28th

And I have to admit I think it’s pretty cool too. So I decided to create an application that uses the Facebook Platform. I’m writing the application in PHP and I thought it might be useful for others to know how to write their own Facebook applications with PHP. So here we are.
