Concerned about Facebook privacy? I've created a Facebook application called "Know Your Privacy" to help you understand how third-party apps access your profile data. It highlights potential risks and offers common-sense advice. Find it at http://apps.facebook.com/knowyourprivacy/. Your feedback is welcome! Disclaimer: This app is for informational purposes only and doesn't imply any misuse of data by installed apps. It's not professional advice; contact authorities for accurate information.

I've integrated Topicala into Facebook, allowing users to search the internet without leaving the platform. Check out the app at http://apps.facebook.com/topicala/. It's easy to use, requires no personal data, and was a breeze to develop. I'd love to hear your feedback!
I've updated my AJAX application, DeliTag (The Delicious Tag Poster)! Now, when you select text within the IFRAME, the application will analyze only the selected text instead of the entire page. This makes tagging much more precise.
I have a new program idea: an automatic tag creator for Del.icio.us, similar to my Ajax Tagging Application. It would analyze a webpage's content to suggest relevant topical tags, which you could then select and use to upload the URL and tags to Del.icio.us. I believe this would be a useful tool. What are your thoughts?
This is the seventh post in my series about the failures of my first AJAX application. My biggest failure? No one used it! I had these grand visions of tons of users, but it turned out I was the only one. So, I'm changing my strategy. I've started this blog to centralize all information about the AJAXTagger. My next step is promotion! I need users to try it, break it, and give me feedback. Email me or leave a comment with your suggestions!
I just discovered the Technorati Tagger application (http://www.ultraseeker.com/tagbuilder). It's decent, converting user-generated tags into XHTML. This represents the simpler half of what I'm aiming to build in my upcoming AJAX application.
I've created my first AJAX application, an AJAX Technorati Tagger, which can be found here. It allows users to input text, receive suggested Technorati tags (powered by Yahoo's web service), and generate a list of related keywords. It's still a work in progress with some bugs, but feedback is welcome!
I found a way to dynamically load resource files for skinning XAML apps! It's surprisingly easy. One method involves simply loading a resource and assigning it to the application. Another example demonstrates loading "Style" resources at runtime, allowing for dynamic visual trees and other customizations. Check out the links for more details and code examples.
