8 Tips for Getting Your Facebook App Acquired

Facebook application acquisitions are a lot like domain name sales: out of every 10 that happen in any given week, only 1 gets publicly announced. While only a few Facebook application sales have been publicly reported (Inside Facebook has broken the news on the following sales: Pieces of Flair and Speed Racing to RockYou for a rumored seven figures each, Free Gifts, Esgut, and Nicknames to SGN, Favorite Peeps to Slide, and Extended Info to Sidestep), there’s actually a fairly active market for applications going on behind the scenes.

The biggest challenge developers face in selling their applications is the supply glut: there are simply many more applications (over 25,000 are listed in the directory) than interested buyers.
