that's cool. what is better then now - attract existing/new users to the info page or canvas page? (since canvas page url is sometimes hard to detect)
it will be cool also to do vice a versa: if a user lands on the canvas page and the app is not installed - she is redirected to the info page? maybe I'm missing something - this behaviour has changed several times already. another question - where does activity story link (via ... ) redirect now? thanks On Dec 10, 6:47 pm, Bruno Oliveira <bru...@google.com> wrote: > Hey everyone, > > I'd like to announce a new feature.
