We have graduated the Facebook application from a developer application to an approved application. See Project Showroom Facebook Sharing for how to do this.
Project Showroom current has three rooms: Builder Homesite, Inc. American Bathroom, Builder Homesite, Inc. American Kitchen with Island, and Matrix EuroElectrolux Kitchen.
