Ok. So, I’ve written a test harness to punch out to Facebook’s site to authenticate yourself, return the session token, and retrieve your friends list. I even went as far as to creating a page to display you friends, along with a marker on a Google Map. Pretty easy stuff (it took me a few hours to learn the API, integrate Phoogle and format the page.).

So now what? Now I’m ready to write applications for the Facebook user base. But, there are already so many apps out there. Most of them use the Facebook canvas. The only think I like about this whole experiment, is that I now have a way to authenticate a person using Facebook credentials. Still … now what?  (I’ve conquered Myspace too)
