Worked fine for me - possibly a good way to wean yourself off Facebook!

Ok .. maybe I’ve been living under a rock, but I’ve never been to NetVibes, and am officially addicted to Facebook, so this one isn’t really for me.

I hate to be the party-pooper, but this _might_ be breaching the platform’s terms of use. I recall some sentence in there saying you can legally only preserve user information for 24 hours. I’m not sure Netvibes is violating this, but they might want to have their lawyers take a look.

Netvibes modules for facebook have been around for a while…I added one before and got rid of it because it’s not terribly useful. Not sure why this is supposed to be new.

The Facebook app overload is already starting to set in. I predicted as much.

I’ve been hearing from a lot of developers that AJAX is one of the weaknesses for the platform. Considering that Netvibes is oodles of Ajax, it will be interesting to see how their application performs.

For some strange reason you have to close the popup window in which you authenticate on Facebook before the widget can pull data.
Pretty cool, though it is a tad too large IMHO.

Worked just fine for me. It gives you the basic stats but you still want to login to the site in order to check your feed.

Works fine for me, but I rarely use netvibes and am on facebook atleast once an hour, so I have little use for it.
