17 years, 3 months ago at Feb 12 9:57 - I've just tried out the facebook music app and found a bug. None of the links to albums work. For instance:
apps.facebook.com/musiclist/view/85356
In listal the link for this album is:
www.listal.com/music/expecting-to-fly-the-bluetones
It'd also be nice to be able to change the display on my facebook profile to have the most recently added rather than my top rated. Though of course I might just have not found how to do that! It'd also be nice to hide my recent reviews as I've currently only got one very old review of a game soundtrack which I don't particularly want showing up on my profile until I have time to review something else. Maybe only display reviews less than two weeks old?

It was a priority a few months ago but I tried it and found it really annoying to make the apps. The main reason it's not a priority at the moment :
- It's annoying to convert the site into a much smaller size window.
- Javascript doesn't work unless you use iframes (which have their own problems).
- It's slower than listal because all requests have to go through facebook (e.g. it seems like im spending time making a slower inferior site)
- I experienced a lot of random errors while creating the apps before (which i think was a problem with the facebook servers) they seem to have gone now though.
Im considering redoing the facebook apps and use a better method of creating them (the current apps were more custom designed for facebook which takes time to do). I might make one one listal application and give people better control of items in their facebook profile.
I may also make simple applications for facebook and cut out most of the listal functionality. I am also considering applications for other sites e.g. bebo, orkut, myspace
Personally I would rather concentrate on the main site but as you say facebook can be great exposure, but now there are thousands of facebook applications so it's hard to be noticed these days.
That is difficult because i need to send a request to facebook to update the profile (e.g. for every time you add something I also need to update facebook). I don't really want to do this as it would make adding items slower.
