The code for the MySpace Friend List Export script I wrote a while back is now available for download. If you’re a PHP programmer and are interested in viewing the source code for it, take a look at http://stuff.daniel15.com/php/myspace/get_friends.txt

Based on requests from users, I’ve now made the Flash Embed Facebook application much more user-friendly.

As usual, please report any bugs here as a comment, or via email.

If you find a bug in the application, please tell me about it (either by posting a comment here, or emailing me at facebook -[at]- daniel15.com)
Thanks guys!

Looking closer, I noticed that this was actually quite easy to do. Read the rest of this entry »
