Facebook provider

[Pedro Gauna]

Cloudsn is "the" indicated app to have Facebook's
notification.

It will be great to show this events:

- facebook notifications
- facebook new messages
- request of friend's aggregation

I searched the web but can't find any app that provides
Facebook's notifications. Today I post a comment in
a very visited site (http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/) talking
about cloudsn and a future Facebook integration, maybe
someone with experience in Facebook's API can give
a hand.

I have tried to implement it two times and it's very hard. The facebook API for desktop applications is very bad because I must embed a navigator like webkit or something to get the permissions, access etc.

If someone want to help me...

Well, seems like omgunbuntu got the solution... on the 31st of May:

http://nzjrs.github.com/facebook-notify/

Maybe you could merge those 2 projets ?
Or maybe there is no need to have your features and Facebook notifications in the same software ...

That's up to you !

Thanks for the info!! I will take a look at these projects and I try to implement the facebook notifications into cloudsn

Specto also has facebook notification (http://specto.sourceforge.net/)... I like the way Specto shows notification for Google Reader which has more details than Cloudsn...
