Re: IRE Facebook Application

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.
