"There still might be a market for Facebook applications after all.  Popular wedding planning site TheKnot has acquired WedSnap, the company behind WeddingBook, a Facebook application with more than 400,000 active users.  The app is essentially the Facebook version of TheKnot, allowing users to setup guest lists, post wedding photos, and setup a gift registry.  \nWeddingBook was one of five winners of fbFund, collecting a $250,000 grant from Facebook and its venture capital partners.  Terms of the acquisition aren\u2019t being disclosed, but it\u2019s certainly a quick turnaround for WedSnap \u2013 the fbFund award came just last month.  Meanwhile, TheKnot's branding has already been added to the WeddingBook application.\nAs far as Facebook goes, recent buzz has been much more focused on Facebook Connect \u2013 the company\u2019s identity platform for third-party websites.  Nonetheless, WeddingBook\u2019s exit reminds us that there are still apps inside Facebook with hundreds of thousands of users, and if they target the right niche, there is still money to be made.  \nAdditional Resources\n\n- 10 Great Implementations of Facebook Connect\n- 30+ Apps for Doing Business on Facebook\n- 20+ Great Greasemonkey Scripts for Improving Your Facebook Experience\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
