Facebook

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.

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

Just wrote this after the MS ad platform on Facebook news came out.

Social networking - my verdict

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!

So I started this module, Activity Module, in an attempt at recreating the Facebook functionality of being able to see what your friends are doing on a Drupal site. The friends are defined through the Buddylist Module so Activity is dependant upon Buddylist. The module still needs a lot of love, but it's an attempt.

I started watching the video of Dave Cohen's Facebook talk at DrupalCon...

But it would be handy to follow along the slides separately. Does anybody know if they are available somewhere? My google-fu is failing me.

Also, is there video and/or slides available for the other two Facebook related talks?

I've been mucking around on FaceBook for the last week. It's cool, and the apps are nice.

And the dirty little secret is that MySite supports this type of "app" functionality through its plugin API -- it might even be made to read Facebook apps.

So where's the developer love?

Habe diese Gruppe soeben erst entdeckt und bin erfreut, dass es doch ein paar Schweizer gibt. Ich habe zudem auch mal eine Gruppe auf Facebook gemacht... Ich hoffe, es gibt wieder mal ein Event.
