Google's Facebook App, broken
Google has jumped into Facebook land with the release of a new application that lets users search the web, and share results with friends. Is it a useful add? We are not totally sure, its broken!The Google search application for Facebook, created with Google's AJAX Search API, sounds like a promising add for users of the social network. Search queries are added in the mini feeds of users, which allow for an easy way to share with friends. Normal Google searches can be made, through the application like Web, Images, News, Maps, Blogs, Books, and even YouTube. However, we keep getting this error message when trying to installing the application:
"Errors while loading page from application
There are still a few kinks Facebook and the makers of Google are trying to iron out. We appreciate your patience as we try to fix these issues. Your problem has been logged - if it persists, please come back in a few days. Thanks!"
Looks like a few little bugs popped up in the release causing them to shut it off completely. We'll be on the lookout for a resolution and test this then. In the meantime, if there are any DLS readers that got the chance to test it while it was active, please let us know your thoughts.
UPDATE: Could this be a hoax? We are looking more into it.

a side note: facebook will never allow a google search engine on the app directory. For example, my google search engine application got rejected from the facebook app directory "because it violates the Facebook developer terms of service (stores user data beyond the context user session or specified timeout)."
