Greater the self identify and ego of Facebook users, the more positive their attribute towards their brand.

Consumers find themselves more at ease to have their personal information and details posted on their Facebook pages and this extrovert tendency increases the scope and opportunity for the businessmen to generate loads of the business by increasing their clients. This whole process of socializing and marketing is what is known as ‘self referencing’, which is also known as ‘positive sensation’, which persons with high self esteem feel when they look at their Facebook page.

Facebook App Developers Taking on Heroku

For Facebook App Developers, Heroku has now become a great way to get the apps hosted on Facebook. It is not only the fastest way of taking your app on the online world but an entirely a new way also. 

Hosting on Heroku is absolutely free to begin with and has very reasonable rates too for personal apps, sandbox apps or in case you are experimenting with small number of users. As apps increase in scale with more database horsepower and traffic, the price increases.

For the developers, Heroku has been a great boon. Ten years back when it would take a year to write a software application, it takes now maximum one month and sometimes even a single day but the biggest drawback is the deployment which has not taken place as yet. It is still a stumbling block. For this purpose you require a server, and also configure the same. This makes the whole process a bit expensive.

However experts say as these are cloud based models, you can very well follow your own idea- and get the same scaled high. As it functions in an open source environment so there is no need for you to take license.

Heroku also entails the facebook app developers to start building a new Facebook application with only sample code in different languages. Moreover with Heroku you can have many add-ons and complete support.

For both the users and developers, Heroku has been a boon as it allows you to create and import any of your app without any configuration or deployment. You can very well see your app running instantly and also get your code and data edit at your own comfort without any need for anything to install.
