Oodle announces two new applications on Facebook Platform

Oodle, the new way to find great deals with classifieds, today announced two new applications built on Facebook Platform, a platform which enables companies and developers to create applications for the Facebook website. Oodleís applications provide Facebook users in the UK with the ability to share online classifieds through its ìWantListî application, and to track and share information about bands and upcoming concerts with other users through ìBandTracker.î

Facebook is a social utility that offers an efficient way for people to stay connected with their friends and people around them.

ìFacebook Platform creates an ecosystem for developers to build applications that deeply integrate into Facebook and use its social graph,î said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook. ìBy enabling developers to make applications within Facebook, weíre working together to create a better utility for millions of people.î

Oodle continues to transform the way consumers find great deals through classifieds, and is now making that experience more social by launching several new applications for Facebook users. Oodleís ìWantListî application enables Facebook users to share all the things theyíre looking for with their friends ñ whether it is finding a new flatemate, second hand car ñ or tickets to a concert. Oodleís ìBandTrackerî application allows Facebook users to track over 200,000 bands, ensuring that they donít miss their favorites when they come to town. ìBandTrackerî also allows users to share information about upcoming concerts with their friends.

ìClassifieds are fundamentally a social experience, whether you are looking for a pet, or finding and sharing concerts with friends,î said Duncan Dunlop, General Manager of Oodle UK. ìAs part of Facebookís robust platform, Oodle applications are enriching the overall social experience of Facebook users.î

Facebook users communicate and share information through the social graph, the network of connections and relationships between people. Facebook.com was the fastest growing web property in the UK in April, according to measurement company comScore, with its unique user numbers rising by 38% to 3.7m during the month.
