World Community Grid has had a basic Facebook application available for members to use for the past 2 years. You can access it at: http://apps.facebook.com/worldcommunitygrid/

We have been in the process of redesigning and reworking our Facebook application for the past month to make it more dynamic, engaging and integrated into the World Community Grid website. We plan to release the updated application in early November. We will submit the World Community Grid Facebook application to Facebook's official application verification program. This process will provide our members with the certainty that they are dealing with an application that is the official World Community Grid application.

In the meantime, World Community Grid has been made aware that a new Facebook application has been created that was designed to look and act like an official World Community Grid application. It is important that our members understand that this application was not developed by World Community Grid.

Facebook provides applications access to much of the personal information that their users provided to Facebook. Since we do not control the application in question, we cannot verify or control what is done with that information and advise members to join at their own risk.

We apologize to our members for any confusion on the official World Community Grid Facebook application.
