Is Facebook’s Spam guard broken?

I don’t know what’s up, but Facebook is warning me at every turn that I am spamming people.  For example, I was chatting with my friend Tom Grate (through wall-to-wall messages) about libertarianism this afternoon, and this message kept popping up:

I’m not sure how wall chats are a misuse of features, nor am I clear about how a personal conversation constitutes spam.  Even more irritating is the fact that my mysteriously spammy behaviour may cause my account to be terminated.

Anyone from Facebook care to comment?

RF.COM debuts iPhone dialer

Looking for an inexpensive long distance calling solution for iPhone?   Or perhaps you want to be able to call friends on Skype, MSN, GTalk, FWD, or another SIP calling solution.  RF.COM may be just the answer for you.  A web based call through solution for iPhone, it’s simple and works well.

Simply visit the RF.COM site, create an account and register your phone.  At that point, you’re ready to go. Point Safari at RF.COM, login, enter the number or person you wish to reach, (it takes SIP URIs and Skype account names as well) and then make your call. To reach a person on an IP network, RF.COM causes your phone to dial a 778 area code number (the usual charges may apply), and then bridges the call to Skype, or a SIP account.

I tried a call this morning to an ordinary cellular number, as well as to Howard on Skype.  Both worked as advertised.
