The event was a great success.  I especially enjoyed the presentations by Chris Johnson  of Terralever and Dave Morin of Facebook. I encourage everyone to look at Chris slides on marketing a Facebook application. For those of you who might be interested in what I spoke about take a look at my 15 min presentation on the “Anatomy of a Facebook App”  With so little time,  I was unable to jump to deep into the platform, but managed to get through the basic steps to create a your first Facebook Application.

The method is “feed.publishTemplatizedAction” and the intent of this method is to replace the existing “feed.publishActionOfUser” with a method that is more “templatized”. Here is a sample we created which is a combination of static text and data we gathered from a RSS feed. When a users first installs our application we will publish this news story.

Sample
As illustrated in the sample, if multiple users publish stories where both the title_template and body_template markup strings are identical, as well as the title_data and body_data arrays, then Facebook may aggregated the stories together. When this occurs, the {actor} token is replaced with the names of all of the users whose actions are being aggregated. Also note, that the only valid HTML tags supported in the template is the <a>, <b> and <i>.
