When I read "Dropbox for Wi-Fi" I thought the app would be something like a shared folder between clients in a local Wi-Fi network.

"Couple your Wi-Fi passwords to your FB account and easily share them with friends" would have been a clearer description for me.

I really like the idea, though. I sincerely hope it will catch on.

Perhaps "Google Docs for Wi-Fi" would be a better analogy for the invitation system?

Edit: "Social Wi-Fi" or "social Wi-Fi sharing" would probably be the best thing to call this instead of "X for Wi-Fi" (if it weren't for the existence of http://www.socialwifi.net/).

I'm still a bit confused about what it does, "share your passwords securely through facebook"?

EDIT: read the about page, maybe "Share your wifi password securely with your facebook friends" or "Never have to ask for a wifi password from your facebook friends"

Yeah, maybe, but it would still leave me guessing about what it exactly is the service provides.
"Wi-Fi with Friends"?

Zynga might not like that though.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
