Is this application already developed or would there be interest in it?
Fbabble (facebook chat app) and Babbler (facebook app) both have the option to update Facebook and Twiiter at the same time with a single post, i use it all the time its really handy.
so to answer your question, it already exists, in two different apps
Thanks m8. = )
Hopefully this thread will pop up in searches, and die peacefully.

I've been hoping for something like this for a while now so I thought I would share with everyone!
A dev from the android IRC just released a facebook contacts importer for devices from versions 1.5 and up.
It's about $2 and it works pretty flawlessly on my Hero.
Just realised I didn't even include the name or a cyrket link
It's "facebook contact sync" -> http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.dereenigne.fbcontactsync/
I don't understand this to be honest. What kind of info would you be syncing from facebook contacts? And to be honest, a lot of people I have on my facebook "friends" list I haven't talked to in ages. Could you compile a list of information it rips from facebook? Also, can you pick and choose what info you want on your phone about each person? Another thing too, facebook doesn't let you categorize your friends list so, is there anyway to pick a certain group of people?
I am working very hard on a new type of service that ties in to facebook and mobile apps.
I have it working at about 90% with an Android game app, but it appears that there are some issues that I can't seem to get answered. Is there anyone here that knows the facebook API very well that might be able to answer some questions for me regarding conecting my facebook App, with my web framework, and my mobile apps? WinMo guys will be helpful too as we are planning on making this service crossplatform to all phones except the crapples.
Thanks!!!
no love? or nobody here familiar with facebook?
Recently I answered a question on MSDN winmo forums c/p;
I'm not using FaceBook (FB), but a good friend is. She asked me to look into it as she too is having issues with FB obtained from Microsoft Marketplace. I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact V cq HCT Diamond 2 cd Topaz cq Pure .
First I looked at the FB provided by Microsoft and tested it in a virtual embedded environment, as I did with all FB's tested. And I too had several 'issues' all different with several PPC based FB alternatives. Then I went to Facebook Developer site(!) and did some reading, then I found out that any FaceBook application needs API Key , Application Secret , and Application ID .

Setup the Facebook Application - Part 1, on Facebook.com
The following steps assume you have a Facebook account.
• Go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php .
• If asked to login, use your Facebook login. If you haven’t created an application before, you will be asked to grant Facebook Application access to your Facebook account. You have to allow this in order for this process to work.
• Facebook will ask you for the Application Name that you want to use. This is a short human-readable name. It will be viewable to those who are allowed to visit your Facebook account so make it simple and clear.
• Agree to the terms and click Save Changes. Note: The next page that appears will contain three pieces of information that you will need for your Drupal FB Application: API Key, Application Secret, and Application ID. You will copy and paste this information into the applicable fields when creating your Drupal FB Application.
Canvas Page-specific Setup
Not necessary for Facebook Connect-only applications.
• Click on canvas in the left menu of your Facebook application screen. At the top of the screen that appears next, fill in the URL field. Keep the URL simple and descriptive. Formatting restrictions are provided on the screen. Please read them.

Currently my friend is using some beta version from another developer and still has some issues, found in the first google search string. Though for her they are only minor issues for which she wants to use her laptop anyway.
I hope these links help you. I'm gonna move to a next subject now

Also a heads up Facebook just changed there API not to long ago as well should be a lot better.
Hi,
I recently found that there is an option for adding IM accounts for each contact. While in Edit Contact mode you have the choice to add an IM account (most common ones) for each contact. If you add an IM account you will then have a choice within a contact to start IM chat with that specific person.
My problem is that if I add an Microsoft Live account for one of my friends nothing happens when I try to send a message. E.g There is no application linked to this action.
It works well if I instead use Google Talk, but then that application is installed on the phone.
Since there is no official MSN application available I wonder if there is a way to get this working ? Is there an Motorola app which is not present on my phone? (running custom firmware) or is there a way to link a specific app to that action ? (Ebuddy for example) or how is this intended to be used ?
Been searching the net for an answer without any luck.

nope, instant messaging from contacts is only avail. for Gtalk.
some extra functionallity comes with the official skype app, (like in facebook or twitter)
but you can mess aound with jabber transports if ur rly interessted, that works quite well for me, but can get complicated too.
there are guides for that out there - if u google "jabber transport gtalk"

Thanks for the reply. I also found out that this has nothing to do with Motorola, since it looks and behaves the same on my Samsung Galaxy. Looks like Google prepared for IM via Contacts but since there are no offical clients (or non official) that integrates with the contacts it doesn't work. Would be good to be able to configure this yourself. Anyway I will stick with Ebuddy which lets me connect to different networks within the same applikation.

Small problem regarding the facebook sync feature. Sometimes, people invite me to groups such as "5 000 000 Support Japan with a CLICK". I have RSVP'd "Not participating" on it, but it still shows up on my phone calendar.
To make matters worse, it's a recurring event which is every day at 14:00 or something like that, which clutters up my calendar. I have the same problem with some other events.
I can't find a way to delete it. I still want to use facebook sync function for birthday reminders and events that I actually do want to go to.
So, XDA, is there any way to solve this annoying little problem?
Go to the event page on facebook (the actual site, not the app). At the very bottom there is a link "Remove from my events". That should remove the event from your calander when it next syncs
I feel your pain. I am actually tempted to remove friends who do that on facebook.

Woop, blessed be thy soul! I was looking for such a function but I obviously didn't look hard enough.
Though I must say that putting such a button on the bottom of the page doesn't seem very user-friendly.
Thanks.
To me did not work, another idea, please?
That did not work for me either on my HTC Desire.
No matter what I do, the damn event persists on the calendar.
I've also tried deleting both Facebook, Facebook for HTC Sense and Calendar data, and still, with 0 data, the all day, 3 month event is there on the "facebook calendar".
Does anyone know where HTC Desire stores information on the facebook calendar's events?
Sweet lord, I finally found it!
From askmefast.com How_to_unsync_calendar_htc_android_facebook-qna301278.html (sorry for not posting link correctly, forum doesn't allow me to)
If u want to keep your facebook calendar but just remove that annoying event that is cluttering your calendar just open the event and hold the MENU key until the QWERTY keyboard appears then press backspace and an option to remove the event will appear!
That's it!
Thank God

I actually made an account for this forum just so I could thank you for that....I've been trying to do this for weeks. Genius, worked perfectly
I have the same issue and the HTC tricks not work for i9000.
Anyway to remove the unwanted recurrence facebook events? Even removing the event from facebook homepage can't fix the issue. The only way to work is clear the calendar storage then resync. However by clearing the storage all birthday info will be gone. (To fix this you will then need to clear the contacts storage.. and re-link all friends)
I am still looking for a way to remove the facebook event in i9000. Maybe editting the database directly can solve the issue. Any hints from XDA?
Hello,
I also have this irritating issue, and the solutions mentioned above didn't work on my SGS2. Any other suggestions? Having this idiotic event in my calendar every day is greatly annoying. I've tried deleting all data, resyncing, I don't have it on my facebook page... seems like a bug to me.
Solution?
Anyone?????????????????
Are there good social media/networking forums out there? I need to ask questions about a Facebook problem I have.
Whenever I try to post with a photo to facebook it won't post to twitter even though I have it set up to do so. I need to ask a forum like this but about social networking why that might be happening. Facebook help center is useless.
is it only photo or text as well.. I have it other way configured and is working fine. I post to twitter and it get posted in fb as well..
It's photo with text. I post to facebook and it simply won't post to Twitter. Like it doesn't want to do it. This only happens on my phone, though.
