I'm playing with the Facebook AIR application. Works ok. I can see my activity stream now without going to the Facebook web site. My first thought is how people will react as applications (e.g., Xobni) begin leaking out activity stream information into totally different application contexts. Facebook does not do a very good job at all (in my opinion) when it comes to:
- Informing users as to which Facebook Connect applications are accessing their data for external purposes
- Notifying users of what data those applications are sharing externally
- Allowing users to set permission levels at a data item level per application (vs. global Connect settings)
