I’ll get to my review of last night’s WebInno later on tonight.

From TechCrunch:

Facebook has launched a Silicon Valley VC fund Bay Partners has earmarked millions of dollars for investments in startups creating applications for Facebook. The new program, called AppFactory, will be officially launched on Tuesday.

If your app is popular on Facebook you’re going to need the money. Companies offering free apps are getting slammed with bandwidth and hosting, there is a cost to the popularity that comes with a good viral Facebook app.

I was a hard-core Ecto user for a long time, then went to Wordpress’s web-based editor, and now this is my first post using Flock. So far I don’t like it.

Flock doesn’t deal well with my custom CSS.
Tags not compatible with Ultimate Tag Warrior?
Can’t add title and id to links.

I’ll try a few more posts then probably go back to the Wordpress web interface, or maybe Performancing.
