Crosspost to Facebook Notes

[thorfinn]

Title:
Crosspost to Facebook Notes

Area:
crossposting

Summary:
The crossposter sites option should have an option to "push" notes into facebook.com.

Description:
Facebook.com currently has a Notes feature. You can point it at a public RSS feed to import notes, but that fails to re-import edited notes.

I would prefer to "push" notes into facebook via the crossposter, so that edited notes show up correctly etc.

That may or may not be technically possible to do with facebook's note posting. I suspect it would require some reverse engineering of facebook page code etc.

There are complications around posting security - facebook does actually have the concept of custom posting security, and an extra "friends of friends" level.

Also I'm pretty sure there's no way to prevent comments on a note within facebook, so this option may be problematic.

I noted up there and feel like I should note it again--this kind of a suggestion is already in the bug database. The votes aren't the only things that decide suggestions, they're just a general litmus, and there's not much of a reason not to do this one. It's good for business and it's entirely opt in for users and doesn't directly affect the people who don't want to use it.

I think your link in both this comment and your other one is wrong - it just points back to this suggestion?

[foxfirefey]

Yeeeeah, I got corrected in the other comment. Oh, ditziness.

[sophie]

You did? I'm referring to this comment, which doesn't seem to have any replies. (Though maybe they deleted it so you could edit?)

[foxfirefey]

Oh man. Maybe I made a comment I never submitted. Work has really put me through the ringer this week.
