real slick website and easy to navigate... really hope that kicks off and gets big for you... i guess for a while though you would just be living off the advertisement money before people start paying for featured listings

The layout looks great. Very clean, not too much going on, and it clearly shows what the website is about. I didn't realize there was a market for facebook apps. What kind of plans do you have to make money off of this project?

What exactly is the value of purchasing a facebook app besides the app itself?

hey guys, thanks for the positive feedback.

At this stage the only income would be via advertising and featured listings, there are other plans for gthe future, but I would prefer to keep that under wraps for now.

In regards to the value of facebook applications, well they basically are the same as a website, you can sell advertsing on them. Ads can pay alot higher because they can be targeted a lot more precisely due to the nature of Social Networking sites.

Hope that helps!

I like the site a lot I didnt know people paid 100+ for facebook applications but you have 2 apps up and they have bids..

Why did you not implement something like ebay but take.. a lot less of the money? Because your trying to gain members and offering it for free does that I suppose.

But all in all, great site. the layout is amazing and if I had the time I would probably buy one of the apps just to see how much I could get from advertising and whatnot. Hope it kicks off for ya, are you going to advertise it on facebook any?

Not at all.

Facebook Applications are made my developers external to facebook so they are owned by the developers themselves, which means the can be bought and sold as they see fit.

Lots of money can be made with Facebook apps..
