For the last few weeks, we have been playing around with the Facebook Application Platform. The result: I Declare. This is the first of a few applications that we have in the pipeline, and we are quite pleased with the result. This is somewhat of a “proof of concept”, given that it is the first Social Network app we’ve built, but we hope its used and appreciated by all Facebook members.

I Declare (http://apps.facebook.com/ideclare/) is an application where Facebook members can make predictions and can let their friends vote on, comment on and discuss the outcome of your prediction (or, “Declaration” as we like to call it). Declarations can be about anything, but they cant be more than 160 characters long. Declare the next president. Declare your next math exam grade. Declare the outcome of the next NY Giants game. Declare whatever you want, just let your voice be heard and let your friends vote on how accurate you are in your predictions. Here’s how it works:

1. Make a declaration/prediction and pick a deadline for when it will be true.
2. Your friends can track your declarations, vote on their accuracy, and comment/discuss their merit
3. You build a track record of accuracy to compete and compare with your friends

We tried to keep the theme of our app in line with the Swaplogic mantra of being the premier social network for people wanting to share their personal and professional track records online, and I think we have succeeded. We hope you enjoy I Declare. Add it. Fan it. Tell everyone about it.
