Facebook conference in Seattle this week

December 3rd, 2007

By Justin Smith

First of all, thanks to BJ Fogg and Dave McClure for inviting me to speak at last Thursday’s meeting of Creating Apps for Facebook at Stanford. Being in the room reminded me of why Silicon Valley and Stanford (sorry to toot our own horn) are so awesome – the class’ energy and passion to learn, experiment, and build innovative new services was palpable.

I think Chris Mocko said it well when he stated that the class was basically a comprehensive crash course in entrepreneurship – with the combination of persuasive design and metrics-driven development stressed in the class, any company would be well served to hire a CS 377W alumni!

This week, I’m heading up to Seattle for Web Community Forum: Community Building in the Age of Facebook. I’m excited to hear what everyone is working on in the Pacific Northwest!

The keynotes during this two day event, which is focused on building and marketing applications on Facebook, will be given by:

Jeremiah Owyang, now of Forrester Research on Your Facebook Strategy: Opportunities of a Ready Made Platform

Lee Lorenzen, of Altura Ventures on Why Facebook is Worth $100 Billion

Look forward to seeing you there!
