Some things to keep in mind if you are writing applications for the "new facebook".
Quoted: On the canvas page you can prompt the user to allow your application to access more information and ask for additional permissions. This is essentially the same as what we earlier announced as authorizing an application, but now the experience is even more lightweight -- see the sample login dialog to your right. This Ajax dialog replaces the current add page and the login screen you saw in earlier posts.

These changes are intended to help users communicate and share information more easily with each other - on their profiles, through applications, and through News Feed.

Quoted: As a developer, your goal is to produce templatized feeds that are highly aggregative. Avoid template variables that are very specific or unique to any given user; those pieces of information should instead appear within the body_general parameter.

Blog post from Facebook confirming the new News Feed behavior.
Quoted: As part of our ongoing improvements to News Feed, we recently made it possible for users to see stories from applications they have not added.
...
Use feed.publishTemplatizedAction and register your story templates with us. Only stories with registered templates will be visible to users who have not added your application. (Note: We recommend using feed.publishTemplatizedAction even if you are not registering the template because feed.publishActionOfUser will eventually be deprecated.)ShareViewed: 9 Times
