On a rainy, mid-week night over 86 folks planned to attend; and 39 were planning to be at the OpenSocial and Facebook App Development event, more commonly known as the Facebook Meetup. It was to be held at the posh DLA offices located in the Four Seasons complex in Palo Alto. Instead, I found upon arriving there a swarm of folks hanging outside the building and they through a pizza party taking place outside the front doors of DLA. An emergency gas leak resulted in no heat throughout the building and thus, the event was postponed.
Networking amongst the many developers, VC folks, and entrepreneurs was rampant.
Gary Gill of PodClass.com made the most of it by working the scene, having flown up from San Diego specifically for the event. Blake Commagere and Adam Robertson were going to talk about how they designed the Vampire and Zombies Facebook that are the hottest apps on Facebook. There was going to be a demo of the apps and the psychology behind the creation of the Facebook applications – a topic quite in demand these days. We will all just have to wait with baited breathe until this much anticipated event is rescheduled.
