Yes, you get 100s of birthday wishes on facebook. Thanking them all is a good etiquette. But thanking and replying each individually is not practical as it will be so boring and eat out our birthday celebrations.
BUT WAIT, I found a solution. It may me you have to thank 20 friends or 200, or even 300. You can thank or reply them all in less than 1 minute. I found an innovative facebook app called “Say Thankyou!”. The app can be found here.

The app allows you to thank all your birthday wishes in many different flavours. You can comment the wall posts, like them or do both. Or even like in good old days reply back with a wall post to your friend. It allows you to add a custom message and also select whom you want to thank/reply back.

Well I wish this was there in my last birthday ! It’s a real time saver and the easiest and cutest way to thank all facebook birthday wishes. Spread the word !

Easy way to thank all facebook birthday wishes.

Say Thankyou Facebook App

“Say Thankyou” facebook app enables you to thank your facebook birthday wishes EASILY. It can be tried out here or simply by clicking the above image. Their Official site can be found here.

For a facebook user, a Birthday is a special day. From midnight onwards birthday wishes outpour our walls. It makes you happy to see so many wishes, but how does one thank them all? Just putting a common status or sharing an image saying thank you is not the best etiquette. However thanking hundreds of wall posts one by one is also a tiresome, boring and a time consuming task.

With the app ‘Say Thankyou’, thanking all those birthday wishes is really simple. It only takes a few seconds and a few mouse clicks to thank all your birthday wishes on your  wall. You have a variety of ways to thank. You can either comment on each wall post or like them or you can even do both at the same time. Or else just like in the good old days of facebook, you can write back on each of the friend’s wall saying “Hey Thank You!”

Adding more functionality, you can type your own custom message to comment or post. In addition you can also select which specific wall posts you need to thank too.

In time to come, we will develop more features to customize your comment message!

If you google “how to thank all my birthday wishes” all the search findings will tell you either to:

  1. Put a common status,
  2. Share an image saying “Thank You”,
  3. Write something on some blog and dedicate to friends,
  4. Just ignore, OR
  5. USE THE FACEBOOK APP ‘SAY THANKYOU ! ‘

The first two options are the lazy approaches. I do not know how many take the third option out of millions of facebook users. The fourth is not the best social etiquette as your friends have taken some of their time and effort to wish you.

However wishing a few hundred friends is not practical, halfway through we will be bored and tired, as it takes up a lot of time.

Therefore this app will provide a STATE OF THE ART SOLUTION IN A SMART WAY. Googling did not land me on any app solution that provides this facility. That is why I thought featuring this app review on your site will be a lot more helpful to many facebook users.

You can try it here

Here is some help screen shots:

STEP 1: Confirm your birthday.


STEP 2: Select how you are going to thank.

Adding dynamic images with facebook feed dialogs with same url

Posted on September 20, 2011 by admin

When wall feed stories are published using the javascript api or graph api, you can specify an image or a swf file. Consider you are adding a dynamic image or a dynamic swf file via a wall feed dialog. Most of the time you will not see the latest dynamic image/swf published on the wall feed. What appears is a old image/swf you uploaded.

The same will happen when you change the image/swf so uploaded keeping the url changed.

The reason is that facebook keeps these images and swf files cached. I am not sure for how long the cache would prevail. It must not be weeks, but many hours. As a result your dynamic image will not appear correctly.

The way around for this will be to add some random parameter after the source file. That simple :)

For example specify url as :

picture: ‘https://www.zapu.info/little_me/m/m1.jpg?some_random_number’

Getting Family details from Facebook Graph API : Undocumented

Posted on June 15, 2011 by admin

Check this first

One of the badly documented you can say is the facebook api. Its all because the documentation is not up to date and it is really hard for a beginner to start with by reading the documentation.

One such un-updated, missing is graph api is family details. For example details of parents, brothers, sister, aunties etc etc.

To obtain family details you need ‘user_relationship_details’ permission. ‘family’ is one of the connections to ‘user’. So if you are using php, the call will be as follows:

$graphFamily=$facebook->api('/me/family?fields=id');

This will provide you with an array of Continue reading →

Road to ImagineCup 2011 Final 12…

Posted on June 1, 2011 by admin

During the past few days i haven’t blogged any thng much. Mainly i was busy :P One reason for being busy is the submission for Imagine Cup 2011 Orchard Challenge which got through to final 12 in the global round.
Unfortunately it couldn’t make to the top 3 so no chance of visiting the ‘Big Apple’.

The project is a map based one and had two aims. One was to target for Millenium Development Goals. The other was to exist in the Microsoft Orchrd Platform as a utuily module.

For the first goal, the module MapIPLocation use a central web service while for second the internal systems. Well i kind of hope to write a little more about development for Orchard in future. Here i will share the screen cast videos.

The project can be realy simple but it is realy hard to start with as there is very little documentation and not much external blogs/articles are available on the topic. Orchard is still not even 1 year old and there is lot to be explored.

For MDG use:

For General use

				'tags' => $tags,

Developing Facebook Applications to Upload Images (Using Graph API & php SDK)

Posted on March 28, 2011 by admin

Check this first

It is some time ago i wrote my last post facebook development and by that time many new articles have pop up on the uses of graph API.

In this post i will go through how to upload a photo thruogh your facebook app and later on how to tag it.
I think everyone has experienced some where an app which selects “top friends”, “best friends” etc etc and pops up an image with ourselves tagged. Honestly it can be sucha nuisance that you hate to see. If you log into facebook after some time,you might be wondering how you got tagged to soo many pics.

In this code i assume that you have prepared th image to be uploaded by doing all edits. If you have no clue on have to get images from facebook, you should look into CURL. And for editing GD.

First of all to publish an image the user need to provide “Publish Stream” permission during authentication stage. See my previous post on facebook application Authentication.

You can publish a photo to app users profile with a POST to graph API photos as below:

$facebook->api('/me/photos', 'POST', $image);
