Facebook announced the names of the
25 most interesting applications on the Facebook platform, which will be included in the
fbFund financing
program and right now will receive $ 25,000 without any conditions. Those five of them who are lucky even more can qualify for a second round of funding (another $ 225,000).
Among the 25 finalists are applications created in various fields: games, trainers, programs for ordering goods and gifts, wedding widgets, etc. By the way, these are good ideas for creating something similar in the Russian context, since we have Facebook clones.
Here are the most interesting ones.
BarTab sends your friend a drink, right through Facebook. You pay $ 1, and a special code is sent to the specified mobile phone, which can be exchanged for drinks in the network of partner pubs.

Check My Campus . Widget "Check out my hostel": students of hostels take pictures and describe the conditions of their stay, and future applicants evaluate which university they should enroll in to make life more fun.
Good call sports . An application for sports fans: in real time they predict what action will take place in the next seconds on the field (while only American football is supported), and the system keeps global statistics and publishes ratings of the best forecasters throughout the country.
Koofers helps students share lecture notes, tests and other learning materials.
RealGifts : the widget allows you to order and send a gift to a person without knowing his mailing address. This is a convenient way to accept a gift for popular virtuals who do not want to publish their contact information in the public domain.
Teach the People . Educational platform for communication of teachers and students in the virtual space. There are tools for monetization, that is, teachers can give lessons and get paid for them, and students receive a quality education almost free of charge.
Weddingbook : a wedding book, a kind of social network inside Facebook, where everything is “sharpened” to prepare for the wedding ceremony, planning the process in the smallest detail. Guests can meet and talk with each other, share tips, congratulate the future newlyweds in a special book of congratulations.
