Today is the official launch of FriendQuilts, a dynamic, useful, and incredible Facebook application that I firmly believe improves the usefulness of Facebook and will catch fire with Facebook users. Okay, so I’m biased because I’m part of the project. Sue me after you’ve visited the app. We would like to invite you to participate… Continue reading Announcing FriendQuilts: A dynamic way to share (and show off) videos and photos on Facebook!
