Me and Björn had a meeting today to introudce Facebook and our new Reb me application to the whole company. It's great to have that much attention obviously, but the funny thing is that right after the meeting I stumbled on this article from madcomments. I guess that some of "our" 30-somethings might recognize themselves! :)

Facebook source code leak - Rebtel blogs!

Facebook Source Code Leaked

http://www.techcr...

We just received a tip that the source code for the Facebook main index page has been leaked and published on a blog called Facebook Secrets. There are at least two possible ways that the source code got out - the first is that a Facebook developer has sent it out, or the more likely option that ...

A couple of days ago the some of Facebook's source code was leaked. Of course, this is a big story since Facebook has been decisively a closed community when it comes to opening itself to the outside world.

I've been writing about these walled gardens and how they're doomed to cause reactions previously - I think this is just the first to come of "let's open facebook" activities.

Of course we're all very attuned to Facebook news here at Rebtel now, after a couple of months of intensive online presence by me and Björn and now when we've launched our application.

Rebtel people have started blogging about this - check out more by Alex.

Get Discount International Calls on Facebook - The Unofficial Facebook Blog

http://www.allfac...

A cool phone service, Rebtel, has launched their official Facebook application. The app allows you to contact your international friends and family for the price of a local call. While this is pretty cool in theory, it doesn’t frequently work. I signed up for Rebtel late last year to try and call...

So, we recieved our first review of the app even before we've actually started publishing it a lot - we've just tried to make a sneak peak to our friends etc.

Even though Nick O'Neil's experiences with Rebtel (from Israel - notoriously a hard country when it comes to fees) haven't been entirely positive. Last year I must admit the service wasn't that good to a lot of areas - but it's got a lot better over the last 6 months.

I hope Nick anyway tried out and liked the app itself, hopefully this review will get us a lot of great feedback to it.

For mself - I've been using the app intensely now for a couple of days and I enjoy the slickness in just clicking to get a number to someone.
