"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.

[bluetidepro]

That reads much better. Yes, you may be the only ones with the first "Want / Own" actions but that is very different from being the first to use the actions, in general, like you originally phrased it.

Hopefully the iterations on the messaging has cleared everything up. Whew!

It's not the first to do want/own either. Two social commerce platforms out there already offer it for some weeks (payvment and 8thbridge, if I'm not mistaken)

[west]

Payvment used the actions on Facebook shops, not a public Want button. 8th Bridge created a mockup of what it may look like but as far as I know they haven't released it yet.

Obviously a lot of people have never seen a Want button for as much pickup as this announcement received.

Appreciate the comment!
