[Building Sakai] Integration with Facebook?

[Maurer, Christopher Wayne]

I believe what they were looking for was the register/login sort of thing.

I suppose there is also the other way of bringing facebook widgets into Sakai.
They have the obvious ones like the "Like" button and probably more useful ones like the live stream, and maybe going as far as integrating Sakai with their registration system.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

I don't think any of these would be entirely out of the question, but it would just require that the university be committed to having 100% of its faculty and students having accounts on Facebook.

It seems more likely with Google because of the "Google Apps for education" which basically already puts many schools in the Google domain. Otherwise you'd be leaving some people out. I'd bet the Google plus plugins to be pretty similar now.

I did a small Sakai third party, commercial integration a while back that allowed a user's Sakai courses, announcements, etc. to show up on their FB wall.  I could track that down, if anyone is seriously interested.

I had someone ask me about integrating Sakai with Facebook.  I shudder a little bit at the thought, but thought I'd put it out there and ask if anyone has done/considered doing it?
