Tweet your Facebook status

TomWolf — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 00:23:44 +0000

I’ve stumbled across a page that describes how to use the service twitterfeed to update your Facebook status. It only updates every 30 minutes (less frequently is available as an option) but atleast there is a way.

Xfire profile @ Facebook – review

TomWolf — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 00:04:31 +0000

Not much of a review as a mention really. 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.

Chess.com on Facebook – review

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 19:53:24 +0000

Chess.com is a great page to play chess online for free and the Facebook chess application are now supported by the chess.com engine. 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.

Google Calendar for Facebook – Review

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 16:11:31 +0000

During the active parts of my life it revolves around Google Calendar. 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.

More Picasa on Facebook

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 15:53:42 +0000

More Picasa implementation in Facebook =) This is a simple and nice little plugin that allows you to display your Picasa albums in your profile. It’s all very easy to use =) It would get a higher rating if it could actually show the album directly in facebook instead of linking you to Picasa.

Import your blog posts to Facebook notes

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 14:35:21 +0000

Facebook notes had a nifty little feature that lets you import your blogs RSS feed as note entries. The link for this is on your right side while in the notes section of Facebook. One drawback to this is that the comments to those entries in Facebook won’t be viewable in your blog. Still it’s a very nice feature.

Twitter – Facebook – Review

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 14:21:21 +0000

This plugin allows you to see your Twitter status on your profile in Facebook as well as update it directly from an interface in Facebook. The installation was very straight forward and everything works as expected. Two features I miss is linking your Twitter status to your Facebook status and updating your twitter status directly from your profile instead of a click away.

WordPress to Facebook plugin – review

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 14:11:11 +0000

Wordbook is a nice little plugin that allows you to crosspost your WordPress posts to your Facebook profile. You simply install the WordPress plugin and activate it and follow the instructions that takes you through the intergration process. 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.

Picasa slideshow for Facebook – review

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 13:56:50 +0000

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.

Installationen av Picasa slideshow innebar ett litet problem, länken för att lägga till slideshow som begärs finns inte i den svenska versionen av Picasa utan jag blev tvungen att ändra till engelska för att genomföra installationen. Förutom det så fungerade applikationen smärtfritt. Jag skulle vilja kunna sätta slideshowen på att starta automatiskt men det är bara ett mindre önskemål

Picasa -> Facebook uploader – review

TomWolf — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 13:38:15 +0000

If you don’t want to create your albums on the Picasa website, or perhaps you have used up your 1GB quota, you got the option to do it directly to your Facebook using Picasas wonderful application.

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.
