Nerdery webinar: Facebook breaking change; sky falling?
Many companies who’ve invested in Facebook apps have no idea their code may fail next year, and while this isn’t quite Mayan-prophesy-2012 scary, affected businesses should know that Facebook apps written in FBML will no longer be supported starting in January – and these same apps will no longer exist in June.
Facebook doesn’t, as policy, tell everyone about such breaking code changes. As nerds who watch their dev blog, we get such scoops – and we’ll share the news if you RSVP for our next webinars, Tuesday, November 29 at 10:15 a.m (Central) and Thursday, December 1 at 3:15 p.m.
We’ll cover how nerds can help businesses protect their social media investments by converting FBML to HTML, and how to tell if your Facebook app is written in code that limits its shelf life. Can’t wait for the webinar to find out how to spot an endangered Facebook app? Check this out:

Plenty of companies don’t know they have expiring FBML apps – and since Facebook won’t tap them on the shoulder, we’re spreading word to those who wouldn’t otherwise see this breaking-code change coming. It almost feels like we’re doing a PSA – but yeah, public awareness means business for nerds. The more you know…

Yeah I found that out a few months back, when someone asked me to develop them a quick app in fbml. Turns out they went a different direction upon my suggestion.
