That's pretty cool! Nicely done.

Yeah that is really sweet. We were just (today) discussing some facebook integration ourselves :) And perhaps allowing stuff to be sent through our clients.

Yeah, it was pretty easy to set up. Well, I had someone else do it, maybe that is why it was so easy. But it only took a day for them to have it up and running.

Nice feature that looks really good.

I hope it doesn't do one of those lame forced recommendation things (ie, to install you have to send invites to others) though. God, I want to rip the limbs off people who design those kind of applications.

Never hurts. ;)

Hmmmm, nice idea, but careful it doesn't backfire. Facebook is a conduit to inform contacts of what's going on. User actions show up in all their friends' newsfeeds. On Facebook a typical user has 250 contacts, but very few of them are actually 'good' friends.

In my experience, users are quite sensitive about what they send to their friends - nobody wants to be a spammer. Time will tell whether MUD achievements with the URL embedded will be seen as achaeae spam.

On the other hand, if it works, then genius; leveraging social sites such as this is every online marketeer's #1 goal. If nothing else you'll backlinks, which are always useful.

By the gods, if we did that I would have to rip off my own limbs.
