in Breaking: Facebook Releases New Design on AllFacebook
The new home page is much better suited for advertising.
1) Facebook can now include the popular 300×250 ad unit… Before this FB could only use the odd 120×600.
2) FB’s ad strategy are ads within the news feed. The wider and more focused view on the news feed should help their inline advertising campaigns.
(who is FB’s competition in advertising that everyone except FB is overlooking? FriendFeed)
Overall impression - Congrats, the new home page is a much better design for the Facebook advertising team. We should see revenues jump considerably.

in Meebo Launches Userplane Like Platform on Social Times
This Meebo strategy is exactly the same as Userplane.
Except, Userplane launched revshare over a year ago, deeper APIs, and is a top 30 ad network already paying developers and publishers huge payouts.
I like the Meebo product, but am curious to see if they can actually generate revenue for their partners.
Nick - you pointed out the recent Userplane partnerships with Converdge and Kickapps, but many do not realize that they have chat/IM product on close to 300,000 social websites.
Meebo is creating a ton of noise and it will be interesting if they can pull any business from Userplane.
My very bias opinion believes that publishers will go to where the deeper integration and money is - Userplane
(disclaimer: I use to work at Userplane - However, I do think the the Meebo product is good)

Looks like a great crowd showed up! Sorry I missed it.
One Question: How did you manage to take so many photos and not get one of the host (Richard)? haha
Hope to see you at an LA Tech event soon!

in Sometrics Launches Analytics for App Developers on AllFacebook
Nick,
Thanks for the article.
We are excited to give developers the tools to better understand their audience and grow their social apps!
Today, we launched support for Ruby on Rails and a new PHP tracer code that is much easier to deploy.
Total time to install the Sometrics social analytics solution should only be 2-3 minutes. Plus we are available in our support room to help answer any questions.
Over the next 2-4 weeks Sometrics will be launching many new features. Our goal is to help developers grow user adoption/engagement with better insights into app virality, demographics, and traffic.
In addition, we have a couple exciting announcements to make at the March 25th Snap Summit in San Francisco.
