Implementing Facebook Connect - Part 1
- Image via CrunchBase
I have been spending some time recently developing an online community which will hopefully be launched next quarter. One of the things I wanted to integrate is OpenID to try and lessen the burden of signing-up and logging-in. However, after doing some research I’m thinking that Facebook Connect might be the better way to go. This is the first of at least 2 posts about implementing Facebook Connect with your own PHP application.

JPG Magazine Says Goodbye
I received a very sad e-mail this morning from JPG Magazine announcing they will be shuttering their site on Monday January 5th. In the e-mail they site a lack of funds and troubling economic times as the reasons they cannot continue. It’s unfortunate any time you hear about a worthwhile project going under but I was a fan and subscriber of JPG. I’m not an avid photographer but I am an avid picture viewer and their magazines made great coffee table books. JPG, I’m sorry to see you go… you will be missed!

However, I found an e-mail marketing app a while back that has just differentiated itself from the rest of the pack completely. The program is called Campaign Monitor (CM) and it’s not just your typical e-mail marketing app. CM has been built with designers and developers in mind. You can completely rebrand this hosted application to make it look and act like your own application and then resell it to your customers for additional revenue… totally cool!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I logged on this afternoon, after taking some time away from the computer for the holidays, and slowly sifted through over 500 blog posts in Google Reader. One of them caught my eye from TechCrunch: Zumbox Delivers Paperless Mail. The concept behind this company is that they want to deliver standard snail mail to consumers using the Internet. An interesting concept but not necessarily a new one.
