I learned about this through the Mashable blog post:
Widgetbox - home of my own 'blidget' (which allows you to embed a blog widget of my recent posts) has created a simple Facebook application builder: The App Accelerator. Whatever you can create in HTML, including Flash, can be converted into your very own Facebook application.
A few months ago, Facebook opened up its network to any software developer to help its users customize their on-line community experience. Since then, we've been flooded with ways to express ourselves, test our personalities, give each other cutesy distractions.
And now you can join the fun. Facebook applications are naturally Pollen (aka, viral). While you can create your own blog-widget Facebook app, a more user-centric (and self-expressive) opportunity would probably take off faster.
I haven't yet experimented with it.. but I plan to! Tell me what you're creating, and I'll be sure to add your glitter to my Facebook page.
