Sweet! Facebook in Emacs!
Posted on August 12th, 2008 by Sacha Chua
So here's how to access Facebook from w3m, one of the web browsers in
Emacs:
1. Enable cookies by setting w3m-use-cookies to t.
2. Go to http://m.facebook.com .
3. Choose the HTTP login.
4. Log in with your username and password.
Hooray for mobile interfaces that don't require Javascript! =D
So far, it seems to work. I can update my status! Sweet!
Next step: Figure out how to set up shimbun for Facebook mail so that I can read my Facebook mail like a newsgroup…
Save to - del.icio.us - Digg it - reddit - StumbleUpon
Of course, you could set your status without w3m if you add the developer app and get an app key and use facebook.el

wow facebook in emacs!!! And what about this emacs girl??? Really really really really really really cool!!!
This actually prompted me to experiment with the mobile versions of other online services, with quite a bit of success with Gmail, Google Reader, and Google Docs.
I've documented it all at the Emacs Wiki, here:

Retake Web 2.0 with the power of Emacs!
I update my facebook status in emacs via twitter with twit.el and adding the twitter facebook app to my facebook.
Works fantastically.
