I love this idea! I'm @Jesse. I run SocialToo.com. I also wrote 2 books for Facebook: I'm on Facebook--Now What??? and FBML Essentials. I sold my first Facebook app in just 6 weeks after writing it for a small sum, which allowed me to go out on my own and start my own business. I blog at StayNAlive.com and really enjoy writing.
As for what I have built, SocialToo.com is my prize accomplishment right now, but I've written numerous Facebook apps and Twitter apps for myself and others and have consulted on the development of may as well. I wrote a few libraries on CPAN right now helping to authenticate users to Facebook and Twitter in the Catalyst environment (Catalyst::Authentication::Credentials::Twitter/Facebook). I've been coding in various languages since age 10, including BASIC, Pascal, C, C++, Java, JSP/Servlets, PHP, and of course Perl. In my past life I was on the original team for Freeservers.com, and have worked in various software development capacities for companies like Media General, BackCountry.com (I coded a lot of the front-end for what you see now on SteepAndCheap.com), and UnitedHealth Group. I like Perl. vim FTW As for what I'd like to see: Real time social graph activity, and DM APIs :-) Jesse On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 1:20 PM, Abraham Williams <4bra...@gmail.com> wrote: > We have not had an introductions thread in a long time (or ever that I > could find) so I'm starting one.
