Eventually however, facebook decided that the application which let friends know that they were removed for some flame grilled beef through their RSS feeds violated their rules on how people know they are de-friended.

Overall however, there were over a quarter million people defriended during the time the promotion was active.

Detailed on the Facebook Developers blog and wiki, the company’s new Comment Box allows any website or blog owner to use Facebook for their comment system. A snippet of code can be added to static pages, or CMSes like Movable Type and WordPress via plug-ins, to embed the Comment Box. Whether visitors have a Facebook account or not, the box allows them to comment, and admin controls are provided to weed out the inevitable spam.
