To be fair we are not an app and are targeting a demo 35+, so that could be an issue... We are also doing some decent volume (few K+/day on both), if we were doing a coule hundred $/day I'm sure we could get FB working as well, but finding

Sounds like I'm going to get bombarded by requests/wall messages telling me to buy crap because my friends did. I don't know. Seems like facebook is late to the party - they should have partnered with groupon or livingsocial imo. Time will
