Fcebook made contest rule changes 5/11/2011

With Facebook issuing new rules for contests and Facebook, has ContestBurner issued any opinions or changes we need to make using ContestBurner?

I would expect that when Facebook issues new rules about contest, that Bill would issue some type of communication regarding the use of ContestBurner and those changes. Even if it's just to say "ContestBurner still meets the Facebook criteria for use."

Facebook clarified that you cannot REQUIRE a Facebook "Like" as entry into a contest. ContestBurner does not have that requirement, so make sure you don't have your contest rules require it.

There were other changes Facebook made and I would like to see a ContestBurner response on anything we should or shouldn't do when running ContestBurner.

I think an issue that does arise is to pre-populate the Facebook status bar with a message. This is against FB terms and when CB tries to, it seems to have been blocked by FB. The USER must populate any FB message field.
