The amount of information people post on their profiles leaves vulnerability to anyone choosing to use that persons information in a negative way. Identity theft and fraud are on the rise. Besides how can facebook prove you are not "jennifer aniston" or Mr. Smith? Facebook has grown to measures that it's initial purpose was set for and people should have a choice to either use their so called real name OR a nick name pending their reasoning for signing up to begin with.

But honestly 1,000,000 pageviews a month. I do that on a shared hosting account. $9.95/month. The $4000 burn rate sounds good, compared to other sites I read about here.

I hadn't heard of this service before. From my first look at what Sampa have to offer it looks rather good. Seems everyone is bringing out Facebook Apps these days.

I'd stick with them to work out any bugs because it is a great tool. When I first started using is a couple of months ago I found it to be a decent tool. Since then, they have steadily improved the site's tools so that now I'm really happy with it. They're good people doing good work and making their offering amazingly better just about every day. It has everything you need. Yet they are adding more stuff that's fun to have and making it easier and easier to harness all the capabilities. I really love being able to email content to my site from anywhere. VERY cool. Too bad Ryan is having trouble getting into Sampa. I’d stick with them to work out any bugs because it is a great tool.

It has been fixed and deployed already. We need your email address because that is not an information that the Facebook API is passing to the apps, and a lot of cool/critical features on Sampa depend on your email address, like the ability to post via email and to receive updates on who visited your site. Also, it is the only way for you to manage your site directly from the Internet. @Ryan,

First, it's impossible to find a link to the application in facebook, you have to go to their site. Then, I had to sign-up for an account, inside of facebook? Isn't the point of facebook that I don't have to sign up, since it already has my info? Then, I had to confirm my email, what a hassle. Then when I went to confirm, it said "link not found", and then I tried again and "Oops! Our database just acted a little crazy and we could not create a domain for you. Could you try again later? Thanks." came up. And you can't blame traffic -- the app has a grand total of 10 users. I give up! I tried pretty damn hard to sign-up and I couldn’t get it.

I have no special knowledge about computer and never in my wildest dreams would I think I'd be able to build a site. Sampa made that possible. The new product for FaceBook doesn't surprise me at all.

It does look very complete, though. Facebook integration was definitely a smart move. $4000/Month... yes, this is the way it should be done...
