Custom Facebook Chat App?

maestropanda · 03-26-2011, 09:49 AM

I was wondering if anyone has experience with FB chat apps? I've met someone who got one coded and it seems to be extremely feature-rich and I'm not sure it's worth it. He said that most apps dies within hours but his stays for days. I've done some research on him and he's also quite trusted, but I never had any experience with FB chat apps.

I think he was trying to sell it to me for ($400) and most people told me that the prices are usually higher.

Any comments/suggestions?

The all get deleted fast. The recent influx of sellers on sites and freelancer only proves that the application of this type is mostly worthless as there are hundreds of people selling it now. The only reason why it generated a buzz because It sounds like a super viral application (which it is) But you won't make money on a copy... You would need to start from scratch and develop something new.

All the sellers use re hashed versions of the same script and they get deleted fast while people who coded their own are still keeping applications alive and making xxxx's a week.

But then again, it's against FB TOS to spam this way so its a fine line between getting paid and going to court.
