Facebook Page and App Launch: Gillette Venus Beach Vote

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

I’ve just completed development of another Facebook Application for a major promotional campaign for Gillette.

The Venus Beach Vote application manages a voting competition inside Facebook and  is tightly integrated with the Gillette Venus Beach Facebook Page. It was developed in CakePHP with PHP 5, MySQL 5 and uses FBML for the presentation layer.

The new Facebook Page functionality expands the possibilites for marketing inside Facebook considerably - brands can create a page and then allow applications to interact with both the page and user profiles.

Venus Beach Vote is my largest Facebook Development Project to date and developed in a very short time frame to hit a hard deadline. I am even going to take a day off this weekend, I think I’ve earned it.
