Black Country Up – Facebook App and more

Black Country FB App I developed and promoted a Facebook application in support of the Black County Urban Park bid for the People’s Lottery funding. The application was simple, but showed support in the user’s profile an provided direct voting links. I also produced a myspace or blog badge that did the same for other websites.

Podnosh — podcasting and blogging

PodnoshPodnosh.com – a podcasting service – is a site that I designed and developed. The original brief was for a site that allowed uses to build their own podcast channels from the programmes published – they would do that by building a keyword, author or tag search. This was implemented but is still to be unleashed onto the site – a very useful feature if it ever is.

Later a Wordpress blog installation was added and integrated into the site design, and development continues to support the expanding services that Nick Booth has to offer.

Up Yer Brum — social news for Birmingham

upyerBrum

upyerBrum.com is a social news site, that allows users to vote on stories and links collected from across the internet. The front page shows popular stories as well as content tagged “upyerbrum” across the web for users to vote upon. It interrogates Flickr, YouTube, Technorati and del.icio.us APIs to do so – pulling out relevant titles and descriptions of each item of content as well as thumbnails for the photographs and video.

For upyerBrum I have developed a Facebook Application that places top stories in people’s profiles – this is a quite tricky area due to some quite restrictive cache issues in the Facebook API, but I’m pleased to say it works well.
