Apps are also powerful marketing tools for online promotions of brands, products, services, digital media, ecommerce and more, and pioneers the world over are using this emerging marketing platform to develop apps custom-suited to their brand and product.

• BlueNile.com created a "Blue Nile Wish List" app. The app informs friends of the user whenever he/she adds jewellery from BlueNile.com on his/her wish list on the website.
• Buy.com created the "Garage Sale" app, which lets Facebook users (and there are over 400 million of them) directly purchase used goods on sale at the website from the app without having to leave the page.

Creating Facebook applications isn't expensive, and is hosted on the social networking site for free. Facebook provides coding parameters to convert any existing software into an app for the website, and many third-party applications (like Clearspring.com) do the same.CHtFree Articles Directory | Hostsee.com

However, if you don't have a technical background, and would like custom and high-end elements included in your app, or just generally want to develop a new app based on a new (and preferably viral) concept, it is strongly advised to outsource services to a good programmer who has a good track record of previously developed apps.CHtFree Articles Directory | Hostsee.com
