Facebook User Group Chennai Meetup
Facebook User Group Chennai Meetup on 25th January 2014 Playing With Graph API, Google App Script And Privacy Settings. This is our third Facebook event and we had such an awesome time organizing it! I think Vignesh and me have really grown as organizers over the past few months. This was by far our most perfect event yet!
The event was called “Playing with Graph API, Google App Script and Privacy Settings”. Last event was a Developer only event, but we thought it would make sense to have a User oriented event also. I think that worked out for us since we got to have more of a conversation with the crowd rather then them just listening to us!
