A tool that enables inviting friends to a game?

[tiny008]

Does anyone know of a tool that enables inviting friends to a game? I would like to let a user playing my game invite his facebook friends and they can play against each other.

Looking for something simple...

I saw a mention of foorocket that does the job. I tried it (in private beta..), it's pretty cool and easy.

foorocket looks interesting.

The other way to do it is to build that sort of functionality into a cloud-based backend server. It might sound complicated but services like Cocoafish and Kinvey make it easy to do and real quick

Facebook has an SDK for posting updates to your FB wall. You would need to post a link to a token that represents your current game session and the backend would need to take care of syncing game state for all players. It's something I'll be building in 2012, but I first need to get my current project out of my way.
