Other things I've made

• Audiri - Listen to over 8,000 unsigned bands free
• Bookfaced - exchange books on campus with other facebook users.

Updates

• Now using javascript for geocoding from google (slower, but more accurate)
• Show Links option, see who your friends are friends with
      * Be aware, preformance wise this is like kicking your browser in the face
• Also, we made digg, thanks for the support everyone

So the facebook api was easy to figure out once I realized that the sample php scripts were completely broken. After tackling that I moved on to the google maps api. Also not to difficult, here I basically copied the examples strait from the docs. I decided to do my own geocoding from a database I had sitting around. It seemed to be a lot quicker than using the javascript geocoding stuff they suggested. Making an individual call per item on the client side could get really slow.
