The first question I would like to ask is - why? It's a free app, so
what do you gain from it as a developer?

market of several million facebook users. Good comment. Make that a 300 million potential customer market. The #1 game dev co. on Facebook, (Zynga) is set to clear 200 million this year. Some inspiration for you. http://games.venturebeat.com/2009/10/15/the-making-of-zyngas-cafe-world-the-fastest-growing-social-game-in-history/ I'd love to hear from those iPhone devvers who are considering / already integrating Facebook Connect and or in-app purchasing into their apps. Cheers, Jezza

To take Eric's comment and extend it a little, the definition of game is as we all know, is changing rapidly. Zynga hooks you via an endless onslaught of viral activities in a flash game embedded in Facebook.
Game coins. To complete in-game activities costs you virtual coins. To complete them quickly (there's the hook), you purchase coins with real money and do what you like. i.e. Microtransactions. 56,000,000 people pay $1 each. There you go. Jezza

Micropayments are evil and oh so tempting. I must have spent $80 on
browsergame micropayments last year, when I'd flinch at spending that in one go for a game! I would have kept spending, too, if the game provided a wider range of items! I also have to agree, the line between gaming and general entertainment is rapidly blurring.
