We were seriously frustrated when Facebook removed the ability to find your friends based on their location. There are numerous examples of why you would want to filter by city and not having this feature was nothing short of annoying. Thankfully, Facebook has added the feature back according to an updated posted to the Facebook Page just an hour ago. The feature was first noticed by Eric Eldon.

We were actually in the process of posting an article about 10 reasons why they should add this feature back but within a matter of days, filtering by city is now available…

This actually has to be one of the more challenging tasks. In order to get a boost in your fan base, it’s important to get users to invite their friends. So what methods are there for getting users to invite their friends? The first and most obvious method is to ask users to invite their friends. This can surprisingly have a large impact. The other day I asked my users to invite their friends and a few people invited hundreds…

If you’ve spoken to me about development at any point in the past few months, you’d know I’ve become a big fan of CodeIgniter for quick application development in PHP. Any regular programmer will always look for ways to save time during the development process. If you happen to be developing a Facebook Connect enabled site, then a Facebook Connect library can help save some time. Thankfully Elliot Haughin has done just that for CodeIgniter developers.

Last week Elliot released an extremely useful Facebook Connect CodeIgniter library that will get you up and running in under 5 minutes. I tested…

I’m happy to announce the launch of a new design and new stage for AllFacebook. Over the past two years I have been building up this site to become the leading resource for everything pertaining to Facebook. For the most part this site has experienced tremendous growth but it has not come without challenges. Over the past month or so you probably noticed some issues with our statistics applications as well as other features on this site.

The main lesson learned is: build applications that are made to scale early on. The Facebook application statistics tracker didn’t have the best…

Facebook’s new public profiles have had support for commenting on status updates since the new design was pushed out but one flaw was the inability to comment on fans’ wall posts. Thankfully Facebook has turned that feature on tonight. Up until this evening, public profile admins could not comment on users’ wall posts. It was actually a pretty substantial limitation.

I personally had a number of users that regularly post wall comments and I’m not able to reply to them. As of tonight that has all changed. I can thankfully comment and “like” any of the new wall posts. It’s…

When Facebook added commenting to users’ shared items, the feature instantly took off. The only problem with the feature was that it practically made wall posts obsolete. Replying to one of your friends’ wall posts required a deeper time investment (at least a few seconds). Thankfully Facebook has updated the feature so that you can now reply to wall posts directly from your profile or wherever the wall post is written.

Interestingly, a comment which is posted in response to another wall post does not become another wall post. It makes sense but definitely makes the “Wall-to-Wall” feature a bit…

This morning I was reading a Forbes article in which the author, Taylor Buley, does some flawed math to figure out the ridiculous number of ads Facebook would have to display to generate $100 million. Taylor makes a solid point, with extremely low click through rates Facebook needs to attract tons of impressions to generate a substantial profit. Thankfully Facebook has billions of monthly impressions and that number continues to grow.

Taylor’s article reminds me of a recent article by Time magazine titled, “Facebook Takes a Dive: Why Social Networks Are Bad Businesses” in which the author states “The reason…
