Apparently this company has created a number of stand-alone applications that do nothing but give you access to a single web site. Why you would need Java for something that accomplishes almost nothing is beyond me.
It's worth pointing out that by using this application, you lose all protections that a real browser would give you. Considering how seriously these protections are taken (see the PwnToOwn contest and Google's hefty bounties for finding security holes), throwing that all away for a shiny icon seems silly.

This is nothing more than a webview with Facebook in it.
I am voting one star because firstly it adds no functionality to a normal browser (inface way less) and second the developer or a friend of the developer appears to be voting it up, the 4 people who had rated all had barely rated any other programs (about 1 or 2 others) and three of the four also rated Quick n Easy Web Builder which is probably also getting falsly rated.
There was an overly euthsiatic comment the other day and that appears to have dissapeared suggesting that was fake too.
Link does not lead to the developer's site but rather to some other site claiming to provide download to a package of the best apps for mac... most of which are out of date.
So far, since this app doesn't appear to operate offline, it may well be another premade one-site webbrowser. With come changes to the layout and function on FaceBook, I wouldn't get too attached to this app.
