For quite some time Facebook’s layout has been a bit off. The main body of the page extends to the right past the edge of the top blue header and up into the header itself. I’m on a 15″ Powerbook, Firefox 2.0.0.12 and Leopard 10.5.2. Same problem occurs with Safari as well.

I’ve logged out and tried to load the page in my test user account, which has nothing but Safari installed. Same exact problem.

Loading in CSS Edit, I see the same problem.

Loading the DOM Inspector in Firefox and digging into the div’s, it looks like the pagebody CSS elements might be part of the problem.

The Firefox error console throws almost 50 warnings about being unable to parse values for various properties.

Anyone have an idea what the problem is?

87% of the usage goes to only 84 applications! Only 45 applications have more than 100,000 active users. This is a long tail marketplace with a vengeance — but unfortunately, the economic models (for developers at least, though not for Facebook itself) all rely on getting into the very short head.

Very relevant to distribution of entertainment content. Linksys in 50% of U.S. homes. Half the set-top boxes are from Scientific Atlanta. Ability to connect with flat-screen TVs. But how do users discover information? I see ability to bring together discovery and the network.

Microsoft Popfly:

Popfly is the fun and easy way to build and share mashups, gadgets, and Web pages. It’s made up of online visual tools for building Web pages and mashups and a social network where you can host, share, rate, comment and even remix creations from other Popfly users.

According to ComScore, Facebook is now the sixth-most trafficked web destination in the U.S. That’s why their datacenter is 110 degrees.

Facebook – Fruit Flies for Applications., from Soaring on Ridgelift

14 million people interacted with Facebook apps in August.

When I asked Salil for more details, he pointed me at the AppFactory page, which explains the program.

The AppFactory provides funding, technical and business resources to help entrepreneurs identify, build, and monetize the next generation of applications. Since AppFactory investments are really bets on people and concepts, Bay will use an aggressive timeline and fast-track approach to awarding AppFactory funding. An entrepreneur’s time is best spent developing the application and experimenting with variables that affect adoption, virality, and usage, while exploring reasonable theories about monetization.

Bay Partners is targeting tens of investments from $25,000 to $250,000 using a flexible, fast-track approval process. In addition to the dollars, Bay commits technical and business resources, and a community of “Factory Entrepreneurs,” all part of a program designed to ensure the business success of these application entrepreneurs.

Worth checking out if you have an app that is insanely viral and can be monetized.
