Doesn't work on firefox with: "FB is not defined"

On the bright side, all the JS is not obfuscated, and is quite an interesting read:

http://www.color.com/static/1064/app/pages/Browse/Browse.js

http://www.color.com/static/1064/app/pages/Visit/Visit.js

http://www.color.com/static/1064/app/pages/Profile/Profile.j...

http://www.color.com/static/1064/app/pages/Me/Me.js

The style in these is atrocious. Useless commented out code all over the place, typos everywhere ("fede" for "feed", "depdencenies" for "dependencies"), etc.

A sign they are outsourcing their latest core competency?

"if (this.moreCount > 5) return; // we only allow a max of 5. TODO: what happens then?"

:D

Are you sure you don't have a Facebook blocking extension installed? You'll get "FB is not defined" if you do.

Well, that's interesting if Facebook server fails to deliver you the javascript API files, Color.com will only display you an empty page. Their application initial load depends at a 100% on an external website on which they have no control. If facebook has a downtime for that file, nobody can load their application. That's sounds like an awful idea.

Thanks for noticing. Yes, my adblock is configured not to allow facebook to get my surfing data. Disabling allows color.com to open on FF just fine.
