Recap of Facebook Activities

So I’ve been meaning to write this for a while but I’ve been lacking and there’s never an excuse not to blog in my opinion. Any how, last month, I was lucky enough to be able to attend F8 last month. Myself and some of my teammates from Terralever we lucky enough to be on the early testers list for Facebook Connect and got to play with that.

We did some work for 3 of Red Bull’s blogs (redbullsurfing.com, redbullskateboarding.com and redbullsnowboarding.com) where we allowed commenters the ability to login via their Facebook accounts and have their comments written to their MiniFeeds and NewsFeeds. Along with that, we added a flash piece to the redbullusa.com site that slowed all the entries from the 3 blogs in a cloud format and clicking on an article would show you what your Facebook friends had to say about that article. You could also directly see all of the articles that your friends had to say about any of the blog entires. It turned out awesome and very visually appealing.

None of these items are live yet but keep checking as Facebook Connect will be released to the masses soon. Other than the cool Connect stuff we’ve been able to play with, we have a few Facebook apps in the hopper. I can’t talk about them yet but they’ll be out soon and I’ll fill you in when they are released. Some cool stuff going on for sure.
