Have any experience writing Facebook applications? Until I read the article "Real Estate Gets Younger" posted on RISMEDIA, I never knew anything about Facebook applications.(and still don't).
I'll need to do some more research to see what is involved in writing one.
I was searching for new tech ideas and came across the Dec. 21, 2007 posting.
Some of the interesting comments in the article include:
* A new survey has pinpointed the number-one goal of today’s college students: It’s owning a house.
Students were asked to complete this sentence: “If I could buy anything, it would be…” Housing was the top choice for 41% of the men and 49% of the women. Owning a home scored higher than other, seemingly flashier possessions, such as a car, which came in second, or clothes, which ranked third with women and at the bottom with men.
*”There are 75 million of them” with Boomer grandparents. “They have more money at their disposal than other generations did at their age”.
* “They think they’re going to have that house soon. That’s partly due to the popularity of shows like “Flip This House” and “Total Home Makeover,”.
*Much of the survey focused on their favorite social networking sites, with Facebook ranking first for both genders. the second choice, women choosing MySpace.com and men ESPN.com.
*Today’s students, the survey found, are “very materially focused.” Fifty-seven percent lived in an apartment during college, with or without roommates. (instead of choosing a dormitory lifestyle)
* Women have a higher preference for housing as their top purchase than men. Might also be something for marketers to consider.
*Social networking is twice as popular among young women as men, suggesting that marketers who want to target females are wise to use this medium of communication.

Guess I better stop blogging tonight and start doing some research on how to write a Facebook application and get it posted! If anyone has any suggestions, or any experience with this new media, please email a note. Or comment on my new Facebook 'company' web page. (as soon as they fix the error on my new site :) ..(or add ActiveRain Blog Comments)
I’ll take all the help I can get! Thanks!
