There is an Facebook application that allows you to show off your xfire profile. It shows if you are online, how much you have played your favourite game this week and ever. Nothing fantastic but still nice.

We can look forward to more features like tournaments, better chat system and better javascript for the graphics. Due to the lack of intuitivity when starting out I can’t give this application a top score but if you like chess it’s definatly worth installing and wrapping your head around.

Edit: I took away half a star after realising that the engine on Facebook isn’t connected to that on chess.com and thus you can’t play against oponents on chess.com.

It was nice to see that it was possible to add google calendar to Facebook. The install wasn’t intuitive but it wasn’t impossible either and as soon as it was set up it worked nicely. The output in my profile is only textbased but that is enough for me. I’m not sure I’ll be using the calendar much in Facebook but it’s still nice to see that it works.

It’s all very simple and elegant and in the end you have a feed of your posts in your Facebook profile =) This plugin does what it sets out to do and does it well. I do hope for some more features in the future, like publishing your Facebook notes in Wordpress but it’s a really well made plugin.

The installation of the slideshow presented a small problem, the embed slideshow link wasn’t available in the swedish version of Picasa and I had to switch to english to be able to complete the installation. Other then that it worked like a charm. I might have wanted the option to have the slideshow autostarting without having to click on it but that’s just a minor feature request.

You simply install the application on Facebook, download a file to the “Buttons” folder of your Picasa installation and now you got a button in your Picasa wich lets you upload pictures directly to Facebook. This all works very handy and I really got nothing to complain about. The reason for the high score is because while Facebook have no limits on how many photos you can upload. The only limitation is that you can only have 60 photos in each album. Also Wordpress has plugins to import photos from Facebook as well as Picasa.

Also consider the Picasa slideshow for Facebook
