Facebook Updates Formula for Counting Active Users

Today, Facebook announced that, along with the redesigned permissions dialog it introduced at f8, it’s also making a change to the way it counts active users on canvas applications to only count those who are logged in as active users. This means that users who hit the permissions dialog but choose to not authenticate the app, or who visit the app without logging in (for those apps that allow that behavior), will no longer be included in active user counts.
