Is facebook Data Store API available, or a similar/supported persistence mechanism?
- by jdk
Question
Is there a facebook entry point to a Data Storage mechanism, or should I consider alternatives: What are my alternatives to persist some state information away from my server?

Background
The facebook Data Store Admin tool is made available in a facebook App's Settings (through a link) for the developer to choose as seen here (continue reading below):
However when I visit the DataStoreAdmin link nothing works (i.e. clicking the buttons to define the data store types and objects does nothing - I have tried different browsers).
The Wiki page for Data Store API hasn't been updated recently and the second last update says the beta Data Store was taken offline.
It seems odd the link would be readily available to Apps if the technology is defunct.
