How to Upload a Facebook App
Facebook apps are pieces of code that modify Facebook. Apps can change profile layouts, sort friends' lists or send greetings to friends. If you've developed an app and want to make it available to Facebook users, you'll need to load it onto Facebook. You don't upload the app directly to the Facebook App directory -- you upload the app to your website instead. Once your app is ready to go on your site, you can submit the app to the Facebook App Directory.
