If things get tough you can always try Facebook

Times may be hard but Facebook has money to spend for the right application.

Last week the social networking service announced the 25 winners of its FBFund, which had some 600 applicants.

Among the winners were two with direct travel connotations - Black Drumm (applications that help people organise events such as a trip to the Himalayas) and TrailBehind (which is all about finding great places to hike).

Here's a list of the other winners on Mashable and they all get $25,000 to spend on developing their idea.

In addition, five of them will get $225,000 from Facebook, venture capital firm Accel Partners and Founders Fund.

And, they don't even have to hand over equity in the idea!

Get developing...
