Great idea & execution! Any reason why you chose to post a "link" to the user's wall instead of something else? I've had more success (higher CTR to app and higher engagement on FB) from posting nice large graphics to a user's wall using the photos API. Make a POST to /USER_ID/photos.

Also, I haven't had much success using Facebook invites/requests or the Facebook App Center yet - would be interested to see what kind of conversion you can get.

Thanks, appreciate the kind words.

In terms of posting a photo, we are. We're posting a graphic of their grade. Is it not showing up for you?

I will definitely let you know how the conversions are and how many people we get to our actual site

Looks like you're posting a "link" with a photo attached (using "/feed"). I'm definitely seeing the graphic you're posting, just suggesting a different method/post type which may engage users better.

I didn't even realize you could do that. Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to check that out. I agree, the bigger the graphic, the better
