The last week we spend a lot of time working on our Facebook app. If you haven´t seen the videos yet, watch them here and there. The goal was to build one Facebook app in one week. We knew that this is a tough challenge. The app is not finished yet, but the week was really fun.

On Monday André (top right) joined our team. We really appreciate to work with him, because he has very dry sense of humour.

It started all in the innovation lab at the GATE Garching. We had to think about a concept for our app. I think we really discussed every argument. This took us hours. After this was finished, we immediately started programming. At the beginning Sebastian and André worked on their own.

At the second day Martin joined the developer team to push the project. I tried to support the team by cooking. It was delicious without praising myself too much (editor’s note: it was del.icio.us!).

The first outcomes became apparent at the third day. We had really fun to click on our own app the first time. We will be the greatest fans of our own app. We really came along with the work although we played a lot of Parking Wars in Facebook.

At the end of the fourth day were got a little cabin fever: our head quarter is not that big and the progress of our work got stuck. We discussed the design of our app and didn’t reached a consensus on it. After a two hours discussion we found a solution.

At the end of the week we realized that we won’t finish the app – but that didn´t matter. It still was a  success, because we formed a team in one week. To celebrate this we wanted to make a barbecue. The weather let us down, so we decided to cook in the kitchen. By beers and steaks our work ended, where it started, in the innovation lab.

We want to thank our friends who accompanied us on our Facebook event page. Btw: the videos were watched over a hundred times!

A lot of work is done and a lot of work is still in front of us. So, goodbye and stay tuned.

This is the video of the last day our work week. I hope you enjoyed the videos.

This is the video of the fourth day our work week. It is a little bit shorter than the last two videos. Yesterday my machine broke down and we forgot to start the webcam again.

Goodbye and stay tuned.

This is the video of the third day of our work week. This time it has even sound. The sound is from Big Buck Bunny. (c) copyright Blender Foundation | www.bigbuckbunny.org

Goodbye and stay tuned.

I nearly spend the whole day to make and to upload our first video. But here it is. For every day we will post one video. At the end of our work week you will get the full movie of the whole week.

Have fun.

Goodbye and stay tuned.

This is the mission of our team for the next days: building one Facebook app – SnipClip – in one week – or at least a pre-alpha-version. We invite you to participate in this process by joining our Facebook party. It’s fun – take a look:

You’ll find more pictures and videos of our Facebook app and us on Facebook.

Btw.: the timing is perfect. Facebook just announced that are changing the profiles and adding new features this week! It’s gonna be a tough work week – launching a new app during a relaunch! Have a good time!
