Am I Still One of the Only Utah Facebook Developers?
Hi - you seem to be new here. Please subscribe to my RSS feed to get the latest social news and information!

I mentioned this earlier, and only learned about one other Utah Facebook Developer. Today the question was raised again as someone contacted me, looking for Facebook developers in Utah. I only had one person to refer them to. Are you a Facebook developer? If so, please comment below and I’ll send you referrals!
As for other alternatives, if you are a business owner looking to launch a Facebook application and are looking for a Utah-based Facebook developer, I suggest choosing a good developer, and having them learn Facebook as part of the spec for the project. Any good developer should be able to learn Facebook in not too much time. Frankly, most Facebook Developers I know are in entrepreneurial mode right now, as there is simply too much money in this area to pass up!

I’ve been really curious about the significance of “Utah” in “Utah Facebook Developer” when I’ve seen you post about this.
I’ve never really identified myself as a “Utah Perl Programmer” or a “Utah Sysadmin” as most of the people I work with are online and most of the work that I do is online.
Why is the geographic location of other developers significant to you?

Stephen, geography is important because when people look for a Facebook developer, and they live in Utah, they look for Utah Facebook developers first. Do they have to? Probably not, but in the end it’s at least a little cheaper for them to pay a local than someone remote that they can’t see or interact with in person. If you’re a Facebook developer and don’t live in Utah, please feel free to note it - I’m just proud of living in Utah right now and would love to see more local developers embrace Facebook. I will always refer them first, if they have the qualifications, then any other Facebook developers I know of.
BTW, I’m also a “Utah Perl Programmer”.
There’s just a lot of us (relatively speaking) so I’m not as concerned about that community.
