Facebook Application Review of New York Times Advanced Archive by Richard DiBona

New York Times in FACEBOOK

The Facebook Application Review of today is about the App developed by Richard DiBona called New York Times Advanced Archive. This amazing Facebook app is one of a kind and as far as I know the first one to use the recently released API from the New York Times database.

This Facebook Application allows users to browse and search the full New York Times article archive back to 1981, drilling down on search results by topic, people mentioned, geographical places, organizations mentioned, or type of article.

Also besides the past articles browsing feature, you can see in real time news as soon as they are published in The New York Times (like a Newswire), so it's not only about what happened in the past but also what is happening right now... and everything in this very well thought Facebook Application.

Honestly I was very impress when I came into this Facebook Application not only because of the fast access to news from some long years ago but also because among all the Reviews made in this Facebook Blog I never came to an Application that really makes use of the potential provided by an API of this kind.

Overall this Facebook Application as you will be able to read in it's description is a great Facebook pastime and my qualification for this Facebook Review is a solid 5 out of 5, Richard DiBona did a great Job and also through this application really contributed to the quality of content offer to the Facebook community.
