The facebook application allows you to schedule your facebook status update and wall posts on your friends' walls.
I would love to hear what you guys think and if you guys want any additions to the app.
Expect it to be disabled if it catches on.
Facebook most probably will act with vengeance on any app which impacts its main advertising driven revenue stream. If your app catches on then people will log on less frequently and see less ads about how to whiten their teeth. Facebook will not tolerate this situation.
I mentioned this in another thread but everybody who is writing on the fb platform should try to make sure that the app increases fb logins and does not decrease them if they want to stand a chance with approval from fb.

Doesn't look like it works with HTTPS...
"Switch to regular connection (http)? Sorry! We can't display this content while you're viewing Facebook over a secure connection (https). To use this app, you'll need to switch to a regular connection (http)."

I recently heard or read somewhere (can't recall the source...doh) that if you answer 'Yes' to that question, not only will you be switched to plain HTTP for your current session, but for all future sessions as well.

It's true..tried it myself.
Is this like my social broadcast?
Have you tried out My Social Broadcast? One thing that I have aimed here is reliability...I see some websites offering a similar thing...but see people complain that it didnt do anything etc. This app has a lot better backend..so unless my server crashes...everything should be good...but maybe thats what everyone thinks about their app :P
Honestly, nope. But the first thing I always do when someone posts an idea is google for alternatives and ask the founder why their solution is better.
If you haven't used MSB, you may want to ;) The loudest critics are the unhappy ones, so you may find that MSB offers some features that you like.

My app is also aimed at regular people..and it allows posting to friends' walls as well instead of just status updates
Awesome, do you have a website or just the facebook app page? Honestly, I don't want to connect to your app to see the ins and outs, the benefits, about your company, etc.
sorry i am not using a website to promote it...
lol dont worry, the app doesnt spam ur account in any way..
i havent even put any ads on it lol...just made it for fun
