Silverlight Facebook App
So for those of you that don’t know, facebook has now got an application that is in beta using the silverlight 4 library. Today I decided I would take a look as facebook is something that I use every day to keep in contact with my friends and family.
Just to mention a few of its features, it allows you to view a calendar of events detailing birthdays and events that are upcoming and passed. The application also allows you to look at profiles, the lifestream and many other features available in the facebook site.
The downsides to the application are that there is as of yet no chat on there and many of the photos are not available to the application however this should be fixed before the public release of the software.
Another nice feature to this is that it has got great potential for being a media center import and due to it’s large text is easily readable on large screens and from a distance.
As this is using silverlight4, you must first install the beta for this before you can use the facebook application. This can be done by using the developer access which the link at the bottom of the screen will direct you to.
I would like to thank Michael Gillett for pointing this out to me and helping me to get this running!
