Facebook Platform Updates Expose High Scores, Location, Recent Activity

Platform updates announced November 4th allow developers to more effectively surface Recent Activity stories, post game high scores to the Canvas ticker, and include location information in Graph API Posts.

The Recent Activity update allows Facebook to surface the automatically generated stories that occur when users participate in activities such as clicking Like, accepting a Friend Request, or an Event invitation directly in the News Feed.
