First Facebook Application

Howdy,

I have created my first Facebook application using their development platform. I decided to do something simple at first.

Project Details:

Create a To-Do application that integrates News Feed, FBML display, basic AJAX interface (excluding add form)

It is a Facebook application that I have created, it is a to-do list that is put on your profile, and allows you to manage tasks.

Looks good, Nice little project. My only real concern is in the real world i dont think the actual application idea is that great, since as useful as todo lists may be, i dont really see it as somthing people would want to share with there facebook contacts.

Could be wrong though. Again, good work :)

Out of interest, what method did you use to interact with facebook in this app?

I know hardly any people will use it, but seeing as I just started using the Facebook platform, I had to think of something easy to make, but yet functional for me.

I used the Facebook platform which is a neat API that allows you to create applications.

I heard about it, and decided to join. They have a great development community.

Im actually already part of it, just havent got round to creating anything yet - primary due to the lack of any ideas on my part of what to make with it.
I was more looking a the fql interface but i may give the proper api another look in :P

Took me a while to figure it out, I am not quite sure what I want to do with it.
