"X - the Y for something" is even more annoying. Example from first page: "EasyPost - the Stripe for postage"

While I understand the annoyance, how else could you convey what "the Stripe for postage" says in such a short, succinct way?

"EasyPost - A well-designed postage API"?

I'm pretty much 100% sure Facebook is not name-dropping Twitter.

Yeah, but OP is.

I can't say I understand what point the OP is trying to make, but I don't think it's what you're implying.

I'm the Facebooker maintaining this tool. We use it internally and externally and it represents a "platform application". It runs on a separate domain (www.fbrell.com) and is iframed on the linked page on facebook.com.

It's all open source actually: https://github.com/daaku/rell.

Even better, it's written in Go :)
