Here's the link to Facebook's Beacon Feature (which is for businesses)

And here's the apology for screwing up from Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg.

I have a friend who ended up displaying to the world what he was buying his wife for XMas. He has since left Facebook and has also stopped shopping at Zappos.
