Hey Everybody,
I've been working on a facebook app to help people discover, share and install Ubuntu software. It's not 100% finished, but getting close. Any (reasonably constructive) feedback would be much appriciated.

You can find the app at:
http://apps.facebook.com/ubuntuapps/

Calling it "Ubuntu Software" sets a dangerous precident.

I could call it something silly like "Apps for U" ...

Programs for Ubuntu would be fine.

I just came across this and I love it. It is a great place to just browse through packages without having to log in to synaptic or play with the command line(though both are useful in there own ways). I am installing a few packages found on here as we speak(or type as the case may be). I would like to say thank you to whomever designed this app on Facebook.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'm still working on some more features and on some documentation (as well as prettying things up).
