Hey Andrew, it seems that I'm in the same boat as you! I'm 19 and trying to launch my first FB application soon! Best of luck and be sure to drop me a line whenever!

Well, I've added it to my facebook. Just need someone to send me a message and we'll see how she works! Sent friend request too. Good luck!

You're definitely doing it man, I added the application too, so now all my friends get to see a notification alerting them to the fact I've added your app.

Super Inbox was accepted into the application directory which is important for being seen by users.

And as I type this we hit 106 users!

Question - what kind of revenues do you get per person signed up. How many users do you need to make say $100 per month / $1000 per month? Just curious. Thanks.

The application is FREE. Once he gets enough users, he can leverage that into advertising space -- that space gets in front of Facebook users.

Thanks MJ. What kind of numbers would be needed to attract advertisers?

Well you can have any number of users and be able to display ads via adsense or similar programs. But you need a good amount of daily active users and good amount of page views.

FYI: 160 installs of Super Inbox as of right now.

Very exciting stuff AndrewG.

I have a few questions for you out of curiousity.

Did you setup an agreement with facebook to have them advertise your application "add on" or is this something you setup completely seperate that they can add on? If the former, how is something like that setup?

Great work.

Ryan

The facebook platform allows anyone to create an application to work within the website. I think theres about 10,000 applications available. Check out this if you're really interested: http://developers.facebook.com/

Viral is the keyword. Great work Andrew!

I'm going to be dumping a lot of time this Christmas to build my latest computer, and get straight to coding my Facebook App!

Thats excellent! Nice work.

Do you know how that compares with other applications?

Now it's at 832 installs. Compared to other apps it's not amazing but most have been out longer and have spent money on advertising. Our growth is all viral.

Here's some of the most popular applications:

Super Wall: 19.5 million installs - has been around since the platform started and run by large company.
Top friends: 23.4 million installs - " "
FunWall: 18.1 million installs - " "
Free Gifts: 7.9 millions installs - been around since beginning but run by one developer
Graffiti: 9 million installs - been around since beginning run by 3 developers.

Cool. It would be interesting to see graphs of time vs installs for some of the other applications.

Are you planning on releasing other applications? Or concentrate purely on Super Inbox and develop it over time?
