Definitelly I’m impress. ver well measured selection of an facedbbook app and endless possibilities. This is I can frelly say much better organized than a Mashable selection in many ways. Only I have one question - I searched so many places similar to this one trying to find a way to make my own app - and one’s that I like (kinda of custom app, mix of few simple stuff, like subscribing, rss feeds, blog reports, polls, some more simple stuff mix all in o ne tab) I need knowledge of pHp oe Adobe Flex even - that I don’t know. So, my queston is - If I want to hire someone - do you have someone to reccomend maybe? Also, keep in moind that mix of HTML, Java - Ajax presented like pHp doesn;t have to be face-ripping off like $300 or somethi ng like that. Is there any e]reasnoble develoer who can show basic and charge normal amount for projects that you know or maybe have to reccomend from your list - considering that I found your gtrat site on google, so this is my first time lookin overe it. I subscribed and ev\werthing - bt please if you can reccomend someone except tellng me to go to m”myManInIndia”, please I would really appeiciate. Thanks - for great stuff guys - eep on duing a good jub.

P.S. You should have “Buy me a bbeer” donate bbutton, lol

Two of the Top 10 applications did not work. Number 1 the business card app didn’t work, and had terrible user reviews, and the Introductions app didn’t work either. Not a good start.
