Props to Ivan for pointing this out. The team at Tumblr is doing a killer job with the new Facebook application they put together a couple of months back.
Using Tumblr on Facebook?
You might be using the wrong app. This one is wrong. This one is right.
The right one is much faster.
3rd Faceversary
Today marks the 3 year anniversary of the day I joined Facebook. On that fateful night while I was sitting in a room finalizing the details with Mark Zuckerberg, Dave Fetterman stormed in to inform us that Facebook had just achieved the 10 million user milestone and that everyone was going out to celebrate.
Dave and I were two members of what would become the Facebook Platform team. Along with Adam D’Angelo, Charlie Cheever, Ari Steinberg, Eric Zamore, James Wang, Julie Zhuo, Mark Slee, and Ruchi Sanghvi (and over time many more amazing people), we set out to bring identity and social context to the Internet through a new social platform.
Since that night, we’ve added over 290 million more people to Facebook and built out Facebook Platform (and Connect) to support over 1 million developers in 180 countries who have built in upwards of 350,000 applications.
The opportunity to work alongside so many incredible and talented people here at Facebook and in the community which has developed around Facebook Platform has been one of the most humbling and rewarding experiences of my life.
To this day, Facebook still maintains the culture which was present on that night. Moving fast, being bold, and having fun. Thank you to everyone who has been, and continues to be, part of the journey. And, to Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes for starting a company that has given so many of us the chance to learn, grow, and make revolutionary things together.
To a more connected world.
Games are better with friends.
We’re excited to announce the first round of startups for the inaugural fbFund REV program. REV is a new program we’re rolling out at Facebook as a part of fbFund. We hope this turns into a great community to be a part of and a great option for you to consider if you are trying to build a new startup or get a new idea off the ground.
I just arrived in Boulder, Colorado and the view from my hotel room is one of the reasons I love this city so much. The Flatirons cast a magical energy over the city that is not common anywhere else.
I’m here in town participating in TechStars as a mentor over the next couple of days. I’m looking forward to working with local entrepreneurs from Boulder, and my alma mater the University of Colorado, to see how they can make their internet businesses more social through the power of Facebook Platform.
If you love skiing and snow sports, then Warren Miller’s profile on Facebook is now one of the best kept secret corners of the internet. He writes back to almost everyone who stops by and tells great stories almost every day. If he inspired and delighted you, like he did me, go stop by say hello.
Congratulations to Kevin Rose and the entire team at Digg for launching Facebook Connect. It has been over 1 year in the making. We’re excited to see this flagship integration go live as the web becomes more social.
