The Chicken Test is brought to you by W.R. and Bryce who live in Seattle. Bryce spends too much time on Twitter and posts photos to Flickr; sometimes you'll find him on Facebook. Look for both of them at BarCamps

More Facebook development at FacebookCampToronto2

So I finally got the videos up from FacebookCamp2 and this was my favourite presentation – Top Applications and Why They Work by Jesse Hirsh. I have 4 other videos up from the event including a presentation by Ami Vora of Facebook Inc.

If you didn’t see the videos from FacebookCampToronto1 you can get those here.

Re: Developers In Pain

You know sometimes I even disappoint myself with the amount effort I put into things where I am likely the only one who finds them amusing. I made this in response to Craig’s great video. Both are here.

I shot some videos of the event and even did a little bit myself before the show.

As part of the event Meagan Marks from Facebook.com presented “Best Practices around Product Design and Viral Marketing”. It was an excellent presentation that had a lot of great information. The Facebook people asked however that we do not broadcast the presentation. So I won’t but I’ll SHARE it. (at least for now – MP4 98megs)

The MP4 files are on my server and may be sluggish

There were more presentations including:

  • Updating the Facebook Profile (Colin Smillie, Refresh Partners) Presentation
  • Demo: .Net Sample Application (Ricardo Covo, Web Nodes)
  • Demo: Carpool by Zimride (Rajat Suri)
  • Demo: My Aquarium by Greg Thomson

I’ll try to get them up soon.

Open Cities was a great event and I hope that we can get alot of material up on the wiki. I’d like to try to put up new topic of conversation that we could continue on the wiki shortly.

So be sure to check out the flickr photos and blog posts.
