Don’t forget about the lack of FB developers’ support on their own forum. They seem nonexistent. I hope some real competition comes along soon so maybe they might actually be more proactive supporting their own stupid application. (If I didn’t have clients asking for FB pages I wouldn’t touch the site at all).

@mives – “hate hate” is right.
@Lance – Couldn’t agree more. And you know since writing this post I have done ZERO Facebook development. Hallelujah.

Hear hear. I think you went nice on them too. All the links on their own site point to outdated documentation, and there are either no coding examples or no screenshots (or other) of the sample code they do provide. It really is amazing that with all the development going on there that the documentation (and available tutorials/examples) aren’t a lot better.

Months after this post, I found myself on the same situation. I hate hate FB app development.
