What? GigMonkey Tour: Facebook
• Did Bebo App first– Not a lot of documentation– Support can be tricky – “similar” to Facebook APIs– Used a Rails plugin : Beboist
• Facebook– Better documentation– Lot of developer activity – Therefore lots of lore, how-to’s and help from user
community
FB Facebook experience so far
• Straightforward overall– Created new Gigmonkey app in FB– Set keys and pointed callback URL to
GigMonkey Server– Re-used html and css
• with some FBML added– Requests (client to server) : same– Standard permission request similar
• more of them (offline, photo uploads)
FB “Porting” from Bebo to Facebook
• Rails plugin for Facebook : facebooker– Also supported Bebo!– Removed Beboist and switched to facebooker for both
• Multiple permissions– Can mean a walk through the fields…(many screens of
permissions)• Doesn’t support OAuth
– “offline access” is in effect a form of delegated authentication
– Grants GigMonkey (Consumer) access to a user’s Facebook account (Provider)
FB “Porting” from Bebo to Facebook
Summary
• Experience with the Facebook APIs very good
• Recommend Facebooker if you’re RoR– http://facebooker.rubyforge.org/
• There seems to be quite a bit you can now push to the wall or feed – We plan to use this to seed viral adoption
