PageBadge is just a side pet project that we built over a weekend while sitting at the Yaletown’s Blenz coffee. We needed a way to promote our facebook pages and events and couldn’t imagine that nobody ever thought of building badge makers for facebook pages, events, or groups. So here it is Ladies and Gentlemen you can try the application here

I must say that this project is mostly the work of genius from my business partner and team mate Arash Sanieyan from PeerGlobe Technology and it is developed using Ruby on Rails. We think the most useful web apps are the ones we develop to solve one of our own problems.

I guess after building this pet project, we both had enough of Facebook App development. For some reason developing applications for the facebook isn’t as exciting as 6 month ago, perhaps because many of our marketer friends successfully managed to suck the fun out of this popular social network website.

When you go to the PageBadge, you can select one of the 3 options: Page, Groups, and Events.

Let’s say you click on a Page, and the app loads a list of images for you, each representing one of the pages that you have joined as a fan. Once you click on an icon, the app creates a nice badge for you and generates the HTML code which you can copy-paste and use on your website.

There is a checkbox for adding few pixels of padding to the badge. This is useful for those images which have been cropped tightly.

And here is an example of a Facebook Event badge, notice how each padge comes with a tiny icon on the top left, representing to which category (page, group, or event) this badge belong to.

This application is still in a Beta stage, and the last time that we’ve checked about 81 people are using it. We do appreciate any feedbacks, suggestions, or bug reports from you. You can either post them here or on the Application page on the Facebook.
