Website integration with your Facebooks pages events

>It is possible to integrate facebook with your website events using the facebook API’s, without having to provide a login etc.

A solution can be implemented using a combination of javascript for the connection and php for the management.

See http://www.whitemare.co.uk/whatson/index.html

All these events are from http://www.facebook.com/thewhitemare

So all the administration is carried out on the FB page, and a small amount on the website. If you want to know how to do this, feel free to send me an email.

Facebook Mail API

>This has got to be a good thing, opening up the facebook mail API. It would mean that you could read your facebook messages from outlook or Thunderbird, if the appropiate addon was written. If people want to be private, then don’t sign up to facebook or don’t put anything on facebook they want to keep private. This is facebook attempting to compete with your hotmail or gmail.

Make your mind up for yourself:
