Facebook Weekend in Toronto Coming Up

by Ben Yoskovitz

A good friend of mine, Raymond Luk, is involved with Facebook Weekend in Toronto. It’s a combination BarCamp-style unconference and StartupWeekend. For anyone involved in Facebook development or looking at it for their companies, it’s a good chance to meet the community in Toronto.

From what I’ve heard there will be a good number of experienced entrepreneurs as well, to help companies with their startup plans.

Facebook Weekend is this weekend (starting on Friday) and you can sign-up here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=5803124517.

I should have gotten this notice out earlier, but such is the life of a crazed entrepreneur.

Startup plans for facebook applications? Maybe I am not fully understanding, but how can one have a business plan wrapped around a facebook application?

HDR - I’m not sure, I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I suspect we haven’t yet seen the sweet spot of FB applications that have business opportunity beyond advertising. As well, companies are still not getting strategic enough on how they use FB apps within the greater context of their business.

Please use your real name or a handle that's not driven by trying to gain SEO / Google Juice from my blog. If you put in a "name" designed for SEO purposes, I will edit it. I support the DoFollow movement, but this is also a community, and comments are meant to inspire discussion, not gain link love. Thank you!
