Waiting for Facebook Connect
What am I waiting on?
Being able to enable our customers to offer their customers the ability to automatically access their Facebook social graph and invite their friends into the social network we’re building for them.
This is a demand and expectation from ALL our customers. We’re willing to jump through the hoops, respect the TOS and do whatever it takes - but we GOTTA have the ability to ’store’ the user’s profile data in their account on OUR system.
Here’s what Facebook says they’re gonna cover on July 23rd at their F8 devconf:
Integrating Facebook Connect into your Website
Since 2006, Facebook Platform APIs have supported integration into your website to make your site social. In this session, we will walk through the new features that will be available with Facebook Connect. Learn how Facebook Connect can help you socialize and streamline your website using trusted authentication, real identity, friends access, and dynamic privacy.
I just hope we can do what we gotta do.
Hi - are you suggesting that Facebook is going to allow developers to port the social graph into external applications? I would be surprised, but would love it if they would. I’m currently experimenting with an app that takes simple Facebook information and links it into Salesforce.com. It’s useful, but very rudimentary full of bugs. Enabling the social graph to be used by external systems would be an enormous help.
