Facebook

What do you guys think about new API's launched by Facebook last week? It seems like it's going to make dataportability really easy. Here's the announcement on Facebook's site: http://developers.facebook.com/news.php?blog=1&story=108

Are there any drupal apps that enable you to do this already? I know of the Authentication module.

In case you weren't getting enough local Drupal content out of this group.

I run a content-based website ( http://www.gradspot.com ) and have included facebook share icons/links at the bottom of each article. However, after clicking on the share icon/link, while I am forwarded to Facebook, it doesn't usually pick up anything from the article (i.e., there's no title, description or thumbnail). Sometimes it doesn't even pick up the link. All that being said, we've even included the meta tags Facebook suggests.

Anyone had this problem before and been able to fix it?

Thanks for any help you can give!

Adobe just released Photoshop Express - a free online photo hosting service and editor. It looks really promising; this app really impressed me. It has tons of little features but all presented very well and simple, in my opinion. The application was done in Flex and offers these features that anyone can use for free.

• Photo hosting (2GB)
• Load/Browse photos from Facebook, PhotoBucket, and Picasa (Google)
• Edit photos
• Preview edits in live mode and with scenario example previews
• Make 2D/3D slideshows (that rock!) and even share them (perfect for portfolios and photographers)
• Full-screen mode (awesome!)
• Share photos/galleries
• Rate photos

While Drupal already has many of the tools necessary to implement social networking techniques on a community site, I haven't found anything that works like the personalized central "News Feed" system in Facebook or Twitter.

I'm curious whether anyone has done any development work, planning or merely thinking about how this might be done in Drupal, and about the implications.

DeepRockDrive, an innovative interactive entertainment property on the Web (music, not porn!) based in Redmond, WA and Las Vegas, NV is about to go live with one of the most exciting advancements in live entertainment in recent history. By blending the excitement of live music performance with the interactivity afforded by excellent Web 2.0 social software, we will give artists and fans new tools and a new community in which to interact together. It will culminate with live, interactive performances that set a new bar for fan and artist interaction. But we need your help.

A Silicon Valley Web 2.0 startup is looking for entrepreneurial, seasoned software engineers – you must be a Drupal expert! We have a total of 5 openings right now. You will be based in Mumbai.

At the recent Bay Area Drupal Camp, I presented Drupal for Facebook. I built a small Facebook Application and walked through how I used Drupal to create it. Now the details of this presentation are available in two screencasts.

This is recommended viewing if you're curious what Drupal for Facebook is, or if you've downloaded it and are struggling to set it up. Read more: http://www.dave-cohen.com/node/2246

This is just a quick note to let you all know I have created a new project to support the APIs provided by Google as part of the OpenSocial Project. Of course, this is all brand new, so we're not exactly sure how it's going to work with Drupal, but I'm definitely interested in getting you all onboard!
