摘要

A computer network implemented application development platform is provided that includes or links to a social networking environment and that includes an application development utility. The application development utility enables one or more development users to develop, publish and/or distribute one or more applications using one or more resources of the application development utility and the social networking environment; and one or more application users to discover and access one or more applications using the social networking environment and the server application. The application development platform implements a novel method for building, publishing, and distributing applications using the social networking environment.
