Facebook Heroku Statistics: 34000 Apps In 24 Hours

We spotted this today:

"Last week, Facebook and Heroku announced a partnership through which Facebook developers could easily launch applications on Heroku’s cloud Platform-as a Service via the Facebook development portal. That appears to have been a smart partnership for Heroku, which reports it saw more than 33,800 Facebook applications launched on its service since the social network giant unveiled new features at yesterday’s f8 conference.

On the official Heroku blog, Adam Seligman notes “that’s more than 20 a minute. Facebook has again innovated and captured the excitement of the developer community.”
