Facebook to Email, a new Appoxy Production

We recently launched a new service at www.fb2e.com that will, with one click sign up, start sending your Facebook feed to your inbox every day. This is great for getting your social fix without having to go to Facebook all the time to see what's going on with your friends. Also great for those who work at a place that blocks Facebook. ;)

Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments below!

For the techies out there, the core part of this service is sending emails to a large number of people on a schedule and this was made easy by using SimpleWorker to schedule and send out all the emails. The Facebook connection part was made using the mini_fb gem.

MiniFB Ruby Gem for Facebook Now Supports Facebook Graph API

Our lightweight gem for interacting with Facebook, mini_fb, has been updated for use with the new Facebook Graph API. This also includes support for the new Oauth authentication and of course you can still use the old API if you must.

If you want to get started quickly, you can check out our demo application on github at http://github.com/appoxy/mini_fb_demo.
