Chatter BINGO Released Into The Wild
· Leave a CommentFiled under: Apex, salesforce.com, Visualforce, X-Squared On Demand
With Dreamforce 2010 behind us and Dreamforce 2011 fast approaching, the first ever crowdsourced conference application is publicly available!
Chatter BINGO has been released as an unmanaged package, meaning that all the source code is open and ready for customizing to your hearts’ content.
Chatter BINGO was conceived by Chris Shackelford and Brad Gross (@imperialstout) while chattering in the Dreamforce org, and they asked me to build it. Within two weeks, it had passed QA and was deployed to the org.
One of my favorite moments from Dreamforce was at the Tweetup (#df10tu – see you at #df11tu) when someone walked up to me with a printout of the PDF BINGO card she had generated, asking me to mark myself on the page. It always feels good to see people enjoying one’s work!

Enjoy!
Salesforce Blackberry Wallpaper
In honor of this week’s release of a Salesforce Mobile Development guide on DeveloperForce, we’re posting a Blackberry wallpaper for your enjoyment. Jamie Grenney first posted it in April 2006, when Salesforce released AppExchange Mobile.

Ubiquity Plugin for developer.force.com
Inspired by Gina Trapani’s release of a Ubiquity plug-in to search Lifehacker via Google, I used her code as a base (thanks, Gina) and created a Ubiquity plug-in to search developer.force.com.
Because developerforce uses Google’s technology to search its own site, I wanted to display the search results within the developer.force.com site instead of using Google to search. This meant that I could not (in version 1) display results as the user types in a word. It is still a timesaver, though, as it opens the site and executes the search all-at-once.
To install the plug-in, make sure you have Ubiquity installed in Firefox, and then go to the project homeage at http://www.x2od.com/projects/ubiquity/index.xhtml. Install and you’re done! For more tips on using Ubiquity, visit Lifehacker.
Enjoy!
