FBML 1.1: Facebook is employing a simple technique to combat deceptive applications. They’ll start using CSS visibility instead of fbml logic to control content display to the profile box.
What this means?
No more exclusive content!
… at least in user profiles. If you can see it, then so can I. It doesn’t matter who has what app installed anymore.
A few months ago I would have argued against this move. However, after initially launching the White Stripes app, we realized having exclusive content in the profile box was lame. It’s best to contain exclusive content within the canvas pages, and to lure more users to your app by showing whatever teaser content, branding, or interactive elements in the profiles.
Good timing for the update btw. Schools are back in session.
