Crosspost to Facebook Notes

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.

Essentially, who are you (or anyone else) to determine what sort of culture I want in my personal journal, and why should a whole site be tarnished because some people don't like the bits they've seen?
