So I’ve been playing around lately with Facebook, just last night I went to sleep around 2 AM .. wow time flies when I realized it was 2AM, it seemed to me that 10 minutes ago was midnight.

I didn’t take that long to start developing with Facebook, just downloaded the Facebook Developer Toolkit, I used the source code because I like to look the code but you can just download the binaries and get going, the Facebook API is pretty simple to understand and the .NET Facebook Developer Toolkit makes it even easier to use the API with in your application.

 I truly started developing with Facebook by mistake, really! my friend was developing an application for his uncle’s business and he started telling me about it so I got curious and started to look at the API and reading about it, then downloaded and before I knew it I was talking to the Facebook servers creating functionality for my application.

Today I learned today that Facebook only allows developers to store some information indefinitely  and the rest for only 24 hours, I understand this is to provide end users with usually up to date data but on the other hand does not allow developers to plan and cache or persist some data longer in case the Facebook API is not up for whatever reason.

Anyway once I finish my application I’ll be doing a post and giving some updates !!
