Deploy one in 5 minutes (by me!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgiONvm5JB0&feature=plcp

BTW your Python example app is broken and has been for months. Someone opened an issue on Github (with code to fix) but it's been ignored for months now. https://github.com/heroku/facebook-template-python/issues/7

...and you can charge this 200-500 buck a pop!

Easy money, I say. Still is.

EDIT: Before I get flame, this is just tongue-in-cheek for all the FB marketing agencies out there charging this crap by thousands.

The internet, it's just a big ATM really.

Yeah, but you sure need to type more than 4 digits to get that cash!

I was promised internet money!

200-500? That's cheap!

I love things like this. Things that truly encourage people to just build even if it is very basic. It is such a good learning tool!

The shareable web console is very nice. Is that a third party open source component or did you developed it yourselves?

Developed it ourselves, well the JavaScript terminal is shellinabox (http://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/) but it's connecting via websockets to a Tornado server that does all the interesting stuff.

Incredible! I really wish this was at my disposal when I started working on my side project a couple months ago.

I haven't even played with PythonAnywhere yet, I'm just commenting on how great the tutorial is. It excellently fills in the gaps between django and the facebook interface.
