In-App Birdchases: Play Angry Birds On Facebook For Free, But Pay To Win
http://techcrunch.com/2012/02/13/play-angry-birds-on-facebook/
Angry Birds has just launched on Facebook, and developer Rovio is trying out a different business model that flocks together with other freemium games on the social network. Rather than make you pay $1 up front for a mobile download, there’s 4 new powerups that you can buy for cheap – just $1 for 20 uses.
By expanding its in-app purchases beyond the level-beating Mighty Eagle, Rovio could earn higher a higher average lifetime revenue per user for itself and Facebook rather than squeezing a single golden egg from players upon install.

Angry Birds Leaked On Facebook – Available Now
http://www.arcticstartup.com/2012/02/13/angry-birds-facebook
It seems that Angry Birds is already available on Facebook.
The biggest differences in the game are perhaps the powerups that allow you to get “cheats” to beat the pigs.
The game is all Flash and the perhaps the best part is that you’re able to play it in full screen.
This really looks like Angry Birds will easily become one of the most played games on Facebook. It’s really easy to get playing
Angry Birds in space coming soon..
