Comment:

 This is do-able, and will work on either timeline or as a standalone app.
 (One app can act as both).  A user can share an app/game on their
 timeline, and then friends can click it to play -- which also enables the
 flash proxy.

 The flash proxy can't stay persistent -- it's wholly reliant on users
 keeping the page open.  After discussing with David Fifield, it seems that
 a good strategy is to attempt to make more viral games/apps which would
 offer 10-30 minutes of interesting content.  Most easy html5 games fall
 into this category (think Tetris or Bejewelled).

 Note: "timeline" is the new facebook layout. In this update, there cannot
 be a persistent iframe in the sidebar because the sidebars no longer
 exist.
