Bebo first opened its platform a few months ago to allow 3rd party developers to build applications. While I'm not sure of the exact structure of the relationship, Bebo struck a deal with Facebook to leverage the structure and documentation of the platform in order to replicate its functionality. That being said, when Bebo's first opened up, they weren't really exposing applications into the normal paths users take on the site, and correspondingly, application growth reflected that. We had launched a few apps at this time and were disappointed in the minimal level of pick up among the users.
Fast forward two months.
In late February, Bebo pushed changes to their platform that greatly increased users potential interactions with the applications, including better home and profile placement. Immediately, we saw a nice increase in our traffic and the platform became much more interesting. Last week we launched our suite of LivingSocial applications within Bebo. Check out the apps here:
- DrinkingSocial
- ReadingSocial
- TuneSocial
- ReelSocial
- DiningSocial
- GamingSocial

Hi there, I love the Readingsocial on Facebook and I always update it, I find it the best way of recording my books and the best book application I can came across. However, I now have a problem! I want to transfer my shelf over to my Bebo profile as the book application I have there isn't that great. How can I do this? Is there a way that when I log in there that my details will come up? I'm so confused!!! :) Wendy.
