Most Facebook applications launch in a separate window when you click them, taking interaction off the user's profile page (the Facebook-developed Wall is a notable exception). In some ways it's a shame I chose to demo App Accelerator with a blidget.

Since my demo application is a blidget, new posts will show on the Widgetbox blog, and trigger an update on the Facebook application. Any change to the widget also changes Facebook. When the new application is set up, Widgetbox closes the loop by linking your Facebook application to the widget itself.
You can test the Facebook application before publishing, and edit it at any time. Rather, it crashed my Firefox browser, then posted an image of my blidget to my Facebook mini feed, as a video.Ĭonverting the widget into a Facebook application takes some time to set up, but like any other helper application (like love-to-hate-it tax software), it's more lengthy than grueling. Don't be fooled this isn't App Accelerator's work. After converting the blog into a widget, I was offered the opportunity to "promote" it on Facebook. Next I needed to register as a Facebook developer easily done through Widgetbox's prominent link. I used Widgetbox's Blidget tool (read Webware review) to create a widget of "my" blog (I used, of course.) Since the proprietary service only converts Widgetbox widgets, I needed to begin by registering and building a widget. This is something I hope Widgetbox and Facebook will both limit in the future with appropriate error sensing and alerts. Still, I ran into some problems using App Accelerator, including some URL pasting mistakes that rendered my new application useless and significantly delayed this review. Widgetbox has done its usability homework in creating a friendly, check-listed step-by-step guide that walks users through what might otherwise be a confusing process. The checklist guides you through Facebook application creation.
There's a lot of link-swapping involved, and much of App Accelerator's ease-of-use can be attributed to Widgetbox's assumption of several routing URLs.

The conversion works by adapting Widgetbox's Flash and HTML/JavaScript code for Facebook compatibility. The blandly named App Accelerator shrewdly connects the community developers of Widgetbox's widget marketplace with Facebook's burgeoning user community. Widgetbox today announced App Accelerator, a step-by-step guide and tool for creating Facebook applications from Widgetbox widgets.
