But what are those advantages?

I don’t see it handy to give an application page for people to follow our updates just because it sounds wrong and also because application should be supposed to do something more than serve as a wall for updates, IMO… Like being able to be added and serve those updates to groups or personal profiles, for example… Then it could be really handy to have an application with configurable options instead of a wall of our updates.

This could be a promising way to develop the plugin to have it more integrated with WP blogs.

And it this ever happens, is it safe to use that application like a fan page e.g. add other applications to it like RSS Graffiti to also post there say Twitter updates of our project (they are different), have people post on its wall and such? I.e. use as a normal Fan Page. And what if Facebook decides to remove that possibility in the future? The purpose of the two ARE different normally…

When will SFC 1.0 become available?
Or is it not as simple as I’ll be notified about upgrades in WP?

Also, there is the same problem with Find us on Facebook widget and Facebook Bookmark widget doesn’t work at all.

Applications are better than the normal “Fan Pages”

Why exactly?

It’s important because I created another Fan Page where I tried to add this application while I was trying to figure out a way to get this content posted to a group we already have, but it’s no use.

I did notice though that after I specified this Fan Page in SFC settings, the automated posting became possible (due to the nature of the bug preventing application to post to its own profile AFAIU) and a few other things I found handy in widgets but already forgot.

However, since I didn’t start using this Fan Page or application heavily yet (or promote either on Facebook), I want to determine pros and cons of using either. So far I didn’t see any pros in using the app for a naked eye. Now if it could post its updates to a group stream… but that’s another issue.
