Mobile is like that

I was at the Singapore PHP Group Meetup at SMU on Wednesday, 20 February 2008. Things kick off fast and furious. Leonard Lin from Tyler Projects, the team behind the game battle station give a educational session on the trends and popularity of the various facebook apps. Web Traffic charts were showed about spammer apps, photo apps, dating apps in facebook. Base on the charts, the sustainable apps (profitable I hope) in the long run seems to be in the area of gaming and dating apps.

Leonard mention that advertisers are more interested to advertise on their website hosting the battle station game then on facebook. Key reason is there is more advertising space on their website than on the facebook small square box(did someone say 640x???)
Main revenue for battle station is advertising and in future virtual goods where players can buy special weapons or ships using real cash!!!!
You deserver a beer, Leonard for sharing the information

Second session was by Tianyang also from Tyler Projects on Game Development in Flash & PHP. I am not a full web developer yet but the key points i note was how php is able to interact with the flash game play by passing variables into the flash script.

Last session was on Zend frameworks but sorry guys, I miss this one as I had another appointment at 10pm

Catch the Singapore php group at facebook.

Oh my flying boat name in battle station is AlienSpaceCraft. Attack me if you dare!
