Bebo hosted a developer event last night with presenters covering topics on building Bebo apps, monetizing the apps, porting Facebook apps to Bebo. The good news for FB developers is that Bebo platform is the F8 compatible, so if you have FB apps you can easily port them to Bebo and with Bebo user demographics primarily being in Europe you can expand your userbase across to the European community. Blake Commagere, the creator of Zombies, Vampires, and Werewolves games on Facebook gave an interesting talk on migrating to Bebo platform. It took him only 9 hours to migrate 4 FB apps to Bebo.
During the event Sun announced free Bebo application hosting with Joyent, so if you're building Bebo app, don't forget to take advantage of this one year free hosting offer. Bebo announced a developer context for the most engaging app, check it out.
