Re: [Metalab] hack idea

17 Feb 2014

      I've developed a bunch of apps on Facebook. 
This code here f.e. has been used as Armin Wolf asked his FB fans for TED talk recommendations. 
I've typed it within some minutes and I'm sure it is not optimized. 

-> Just let me know, what you need as an output. RSS, a Textfile, eMails?

FB also provides a technology called Realtime Update Subscriptions. So as soon as I know what we need I can simply hack something called Facebook App which one of the admins of the Metalab Facebook Page has to accept. That's it.

someone should set up a bot that auto pulls articles off facebook,
whenever someone posts a link.
like, what phrik does on irc with the title of the page, if people post
links.
