Aryeh Goldsmith is still launching applications at a rapid pace. His new application is to help support fellow developers. It is the application link exchange. Any developer can add the application, submit their application to the link exchange and place a small snippit of FBML to their splash page and they are good to go. It is a pretty simple application to get free promotion. I honestly don’t know how well this application would work, but it would be interesting to get some statistics on the application’s effect. Given that people already place a limited number of applications on their profile, will this really have any impact? I think that the concept behind this application is pretty slick but I’m skeptical of the result. Additionally, I’m not sure of the delay in having your application added to the directory. I have submitted my Bush Countdown Clock to the directory but I have yet to see it featured. If you are a Facebook developer and want to gain mutually beneficial application promotion from other developers, go grab the Link Exchange application.
Support Your Fellow Developers

Here is a mini-outline of how it works:
As soon as you submit your app AND image, the system automatically gives you a number of free credits.
Each time your image is shown in the system you payback a credit.
Every time you show the bar at the bottom of the page you earn 4.5 credits.
Therefore for each pageview of your app you earn a link across the network 4.5 times, though you still need atleast a pageview to generate your credits.

Really cool to read your posting! We’re creating an app in my company that’s going to be released soon, with which you can take your facebook contacts into your mobile globally by getting local, anonymous numbers for them and also to send free SMS’s to those.
You seem to know a lot on FB, do you think this app could be something for FBers? We hope so
