[Facebooker-talk] loading settings from database

[Mike Mangino]

Are you trying to support multiple applications from a single  
application?

I'm not a big fan of using Environment variables for this.  In my  
local copy, I have methods on the Facebooker module, so that you can  
call

Facebooker.api_key and Facebooker.secret_key. This seems a little  
cleaner to me. That would allow you to override those methods to pull  
them from the DB or do anything else.
