Application Invites (Sharing)

Another new feature in our latest sandbox release is Application Invites. While we haven't gotten to the point of implementing OpenSocial 0.7's requestShareApp method, we have the backend for it in place and have launched a built-in flow that every application in the sandbox will have. It starts with the profile module, which will always have an Invite Friends link:

The invited friends will then receive a request on their homepage.

Enjoy!
