Facebook begins iTunes promotion, giving away 10 million samplers

Facebook, the MySpace of the EDU world (and the 7th most trafficked site in the US), has announced a back-to-school promotion involving the iTMS and 10 million music samplers. They will be giving away 1 million 25-song samplers each week for the next 10 weeks, with genres including Alternative, Rock, Hip-Hop and Electronica.
It appears that one only needs to visit Facebook to see banners like this, which are linked to the download at Apple's site, so go forth and download, iTunes and Facebook users.

Can anyone send me an invite to facebook? I just want the free music, of course. =)

Any of you fine folks in a non-US locale with a code want to hook a guy up? I tried to join facebook, but alas, my HS requires invites and none of the people it suggested particularly like me (they're the "in-crowd" and I could care less)

i love facebook and i love itunes. fabulous. since i log in approximately 25x per day, i'm assuming i'll catch all of these!
Thanks Pieter, I know about HS Facebook, hence my "invite or college email" comment, as HS students need an invite.

To Joseph Matt: High School students have access to Facebook as well.
Shame I use AdBlock so I don't have to suffer through any advertisements. I guess this is one of the downsides.
