Facebook.createApplication API - a great utility for developers

Facebook has recently released the Create Application API to make integration of websites with Facebook more easy and seamless. With Create Application API, the process of creating Facebook applications can be automated. Thus a website can provide easy interfaces for the visitors to encapsulate interesting content into interactive facebook applications. Here is an example on how useful this API really is -Corners enables users to encapsulate a collection of videos, pictures, events, expressions, opinions on any given topic into a facebook application. Currently users have to go through a manual process of collating information from the Facebook application to Corners Application. With the Create Application API, any user can create a rich fully functional Facebook application with just one mouse-click. However, the API does not seem to be complete yet to be really of any significant use. The API contains two variation of a createApplication method -

• FB.Connect.createApplication -- the Javascript client library method.
• Facebook.createApplication -- the FBJS method.

This method creates an application with a given name and assigns it an application id, app-key and authentication secret values. However, other application settings are left empty. It will be really useful if this method is complemented with API to get/set other application settings programmatically.
