Welcome to the summer edition of the “Best of the West Top Facebook Application Index” compiled to highlight the most popular social web services designed or developed in Canada’s West (including in and around the Greater Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, etcetera metros).
The index uses the new monthly active users metric published by Facebook plus includes the number of reviews and fans. Due to popular demand we dropped the Adonomics valuation estimate in $$$.
Consider the list in “Beta” since we accept more and new apps getting listed. We have compiled the index using all apps from the last three Vancouver Facebook Developer Garage events. Interested in getting listed? Send a posting to the Vancouver Ajax/Web 2.0 forum/mailing list and introduce your Facebook application and showcase it live at the upcoming Vancouver Facebook Garage Fall 2008!
