Facebook App part deux

« on: March 04, 2009, 06:47:06 PM »

Hi All,

I've been playing around with Facebook apps and basically redid the old FB app functionality (you can see your loans) but with some more AJAX-y features. Please check out:
http://apps.facebook.com/kivarocks/
I have some ideas about where I'd like to take this app but I thought I'd put this initial iteration out there to see what people think.

Thanks,
~Aaron

Hah! 11 pages, you've been a busy lender. It does need to be refined with an application icon among other things. This is just a rough first cut. I'm actually hoping to get great ideas from users like you. I'm not sure about the broken link you found, I suspect it was just bold text but not an actual link. I really like the idea of being able to share your lending page with your facebook friends, so I'll put that under the thinking cap and let it gestate a little bit. Right now, it is for your personal use, so you can see your loans while in Facebook. Baby steps :-)

11 pages? Um.....

I was looking for the ability to go to the Kiva.org site and view a loan listing directly, but I don't think that option is available, is it? Might be a nice addition.
