I'm looking for a presentation, PDF, blog post, or whitepaper discussing the technical details of how to filter down and display massive amounts of information for individual users in an intelligent (possibly machine learning) kind of way. I've had coworkers hear presentations on the Facebook news feed but I can't find anything published...
Typically I develop my websites on trunk, then merge changes to a testing branch where they are put on a 'beta' website, and then finally they are merged onto a live branch and put onto the live website. With a Facebook application things are a bit tricky. As you can't view a Facebook application through a normal web browser (it has to ...

I am looking for a way to connect to facebook by allowing the user to enter in their username and password and have our app connect to their account and get their contacts so that they can invite them to join their group on our site.

Since Rails is not multithreaded (yet), it seems like a threaded web framework would be a better choice for a Facebook application. (reason being is cuz each Rails process can only handle one request at a time, and facebook actions tend to be slow, because there is a lot of network communication between your app and facebook) Has anyon...
How can I make a Facebook RSS application that autoupdates from the provided RSS feeds. Of course doing this is trivial for canvas applications, but I need this for showing on the Facebook Page. All the RSS apps I've taken a look at either dont update or dont work on Facebook Pages. Especially now that infinite session keys are deprec...
I do not understand how I can authenticate a user in a Facebook Flash application. I have read from the documentation that Facebook platform gives arguments, such as user id and session secret, to the Flash application, but how can I inside the Flash application make sure that these arguments are correct and not fake? Should I make some ...

I'd like to have a link for a user to join a Facebook group from within my Facebook application. Here is the link on Facebook's "display a group" page (minus a longer referrer part), but the group id is encrypted: http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?sid=c431b3cfc02765def331081f8b71ffbd Anyone know how to either encrypt a group id th...
There is a list of projects here, mainly the Facebook Developer Toolkit and Facebook.NET. However, I've seen a lot of negative feedback about the toolkit and it seems like Facebook.NET hasn't been upgraded to the latest facebook API. Are either of these worth using? Any other good libraries out there? Specifically I'm looking to use t...
I'm trying to access the Facebook API Admin.getMetrics method via jQuery. I'm correctly composing the request url on the server side (in order to keep my app secret secret).

We're starting a new facebook app (incidentally in Rails), and are faced with the decision to use FBML or to use IFrames. It seems like in the past the consensus generally was that FBML was the better way to go, as it made things more inherently Facebook looking, however it seems now like things on the iFrame side are starting to improve...
I'm trying to create a basic system that will allow only specific users to see and use modding links like "Delete" and "Edit". I can't seem to find anything about role management in Facebook applications, and using my own external SQL table or XML file is frustratingly stupid in my opinion, considering the fact I'm only trying to classif...

What I don't understand is what the new Facebook Connect platform offers over a traditional Facebook App with the Offline Access permission granted. Can anyone help me out by providi...
