I try to understand the difference betweeen a facebook canvaas application and a facebook enabled website. For me the only difference is that Canvas integrates into Facebook with an iFrame and Websites are stand allone.
But in terms of policy and functionality these two types look the same. Is this true or am I wrong?
For all extents and purposes they are the same. On Canvas/Page apps there is an additional signed_request post that is sent to your application with a little FB specific information that doesn’t get provided to the website.
