Read up on open graph

Yeah, but look at the design - I mean I don't have a position on this, but in my opinion it LOOKS like a Facebook button... I'm sure they didn't intend opengraph to be a landgrab of sorts.

They didn't publish any button guidelines so it's a modified Subscribe button. I would think they'd be more for it as they're getting more eCommerce data. The post states this: Just to be clear, we were approved by Facebook to use these Open Graph actions but this is not a “partnership” with Facebook.

Unfortunately it's a bit difficult to get in contact with FB.

Glad to see Facebook is rolling this out now.

That's not actually what's happening. Just a 3rd party dev thing implemented using open graph actions. In face it's not even clear (contrary to what they say on their blog post) that they cleared this with Facebook. See http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/questions/9364501/released...

Wow.. This is waiting for a C&D from Facebook. To me, this is a blatant abuse of their trademark. http://www.facebook.com/brandpermissions/logos.php

I hate that there's always 'that guy' who thinks he knows how to read legalese better than other layman, so he quickly and assuredly spouts to your audience that you are for sure in deep legal doo-doo; casting doubt into potential users and customers.

"AddShoppers is the first social sharing platform to be fully integrated with Facebook’s new Open Graph actions and Timeline (backstory here)." - That is a very misleading headline. They are NOT the first by any means. Anyone can do this with the Open Graph actions now.

I changed it to read like this: "AddShoppers is the first social sharing platform to be fully integrated with Facebook's new Want / Own actions for their Open Graph Timeline." Yes, anyone can do it after they're approved but we are indeed the first.

If you are approved, why is there a stackoverflow question asking if this is ok? http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/questions/9364501/released...

Because after this original comment, I want to make 100% sure. The question is about the button design, not our integration.

Actually, Payvment released "want" and "own" buttons back on 1/19/2012. http://www.payvment.com/blog/?p=1355

Within Facebook stores. This is for websites outside of Facebook.

Eh, you said you were the first, period. A Facebook app tab is just an iframe so its not like they are doing anything special. So technically they were the first to use the "want" and "own" buttons.

"These are the first buttons of their kind for use on public websites, not shops on Facebook."

I appreciate everyone's help in clarifying.
