Bebo has now opened its gates to the wider development community. Earlier I mentioned how Bebo would use Facebook’s platform, now it seems its adopting Facebook’s strategy to launch their product too.

Nothing wrong with it, its great that developers can build one tool and it would work for both platforms. Although we should consider the difference in demographics of Facebook and Bebo. Bebo typically attracts users below the age of 19 years whilst Facebook is used by older audience. So the apps could be very different but certainly the slideshows, superpokes etc all can be used on Bebo. Saying that I won’t be surprised if the popularity of apps vary on Bebo and Facebook.

Bebo’s Development toolkit:

There are already around 92 certified apps on Bebo. Pretty good, I think the next step is to try our 2wentysworld Facebook app on Bebo and see how it performs. I’ll keep users posted on how it performed on Bebo.
