You know, I have no major skill in programming, coding, whatsoever. But I am really interested to built Facebook Application because I see how potential traffic Facebook if we know how to use it well and then monetize it.

One of the good method to drive Facebook traffic so it can useful for you is by creating an application. The application doesn’t have to be very complicated, you just need to know what the people on Facebook need. Simple quiz application even can make you couple dollars a day if you promote it well.

Back to my story, I spend a lot of time to finding free application builder or script to develop. I found two or three free application builders which we can make an application and promote it but we can’t put our own adsense into our application. This is not the one i want since my purpose is to monetize it.

Fortunately, one of the facebook application developer give their Gift script for people who subscribe to their feed for free. For beginner like me, it sounds good deal. Then I joined and filled in my email address to get my right to download the scripts. The developer’s company is AppRus. You can also joined and get the scripts if you want. I believe this offer is will be expired someday.

Now I’m start to learn and make my own give application . I will let you know how the progress soon after I released my application. So, stay tune.

Dealing with social media such as Digg is really fun and challenging. People submitting what they have on their website with the purposes are to get backlink (linkbaiting tool), exposure (social marketing tool) and traffic. You can get all of them if you do well competing inside the Digg itself.
One of the parameter of how good you interact with Digg communities is whether you can reach the front page or not. Once you can reach the front page, you need to prepare your server or you lost your precious traffic. This effect is known as The Digg Effect.
To reach that point, there are many things you need to notice, act, and react. Here are the list some of the steps. You will get even more if you dig more.

1. Determine your goal.
Although your goal is quite clear, which is get the front page of Digg, knowing in which category you are fighting on is really helpful. On average, you need at least 70 or more Diggs for majority of category. But for less competitive category, 30 Diggs maybe enough to bring your submission to the front page.
2.Knowing characteristics of Digg community.
Did you already notice that there are more registered male users than female. Also, have you notice that the age of Digg users are somewhere between teen and twenties, liberal political view and most of them have no college education. These facts are important to determine your strategy.
Articles about Apple, Google, open source, or environment are proven to be preferred by the users. On the other hand, articles about George W. Bush, Microsoft, or SEO are less interested.
3.Do submission by using good account.
Already known and trusted user or submitter usually easier to be dug. You don’t have to be top user to lead your submission to the front page, but at least your submission won’t be concluded as a crap submission.
Becoming top user also have a lot advantage although you need invest your time and dedication. Once you become top user, you are one step in front of your competitors.
4.Don’t write crappy content.
Writing crappy content is not only waste your time but also destructed your name. Before you write, it’s better to do some research about your niche and allocate your time to know 20 last Diggs. See the pattern and exploit it. Just like general pattern of web articles, fabulous content = more Diggs = more traffic. Write the good article and make it great!
5.Promoting with correct timing.
If you ask your friend to dig your stories, then do it within good time frame. No matter you promote it by email, IM, tweets, Facebook, or anything, do it so it seems natural. It will be very strange if you receive one hundred digs after one hour and only five digs in the next 24 hours.
6.Prepare your server.
Have a good story? Prepare your server for your own good. Receiving 10.000 visitors in one hour is possible if you reach front page, that’s why

Just like I wrote in the beginning, more you deep inside Digg, more you can elaborate all the tips and tricks then lead your story to the front page.

CodeIgniter is a PHP framework that incorporates the MVC methodology. It’s fairly lightweight, doesn’t require messing around with the console, and once you get used to it, it might make it easier and faster to code.

CodeIgniter simplifies many tasks, such as database I/O and form handling, it’s modular architecture allowing you to load various libraries when you need them. It uses the Model-View-Controller design pattern, where the “View” files are templates and such, with the Models and Controllers doing the heavy lifting. Overall the framework tries to promote cleaner, more efficient coding.

Some people don’t like frameworks, some people are lost without them. I’m somewhere in between. They can be helpful in some situations, but I tend to be a bit more DIY when it comes to PHP. It’s all a matter of personal preference, and of course choosing the right tool for the job.

If you have a bit of experience with PHP, it may be worth giving CodeIgniter a look.

Mozilla has announced that Firefox will be coming to the iPhone soon, this summer if there are no major delays.

The browser, dubbed “iFox” internally, is a fairly full-featured port of Firefox with a full implementation of the Gecko rendering engine and the TraceMonkey JavaScript processor. It is extensible via an add-on API similar to it’s desktop cousin, and it is bundled with an exclusive mobile version of Flash.

Apple has been working with Mozilla to bring the app to the platform in a way acceptable to both parties. It will land in the App Store as a free application.

P.S. April Fools!
