[Cc-webedit] facebook fan box widget

[Jonathan Stevenson]

To be honest I'm not aware of the security implications as I'm involved 
in this group from the persective of communicating what we're doing to 
the world not as a techie - could you elaborate?

Also I definitely don't want to make you leave the group. But also I 
think Neil has a point. We use Facebook and Twitter at the moment and 
until a non-corporate application does what they do I think we're stuck 
with them. Should we ask to be removed from all the major search engines 
on the same basis?  I'd prefer to support the development of 
non-corporate alternatives while making use of things that generate web 
traffic at the moment. I think that's the common ground we've found 
across the set of people who've been involved so far, though I realise 
that's not the result of a long and proper discussion in person, so 
maybe we should work out when we can have that about this.

Anyway, the main thing that looks good about the facebook box thing is 
that it shows you some people who are involved in what we're doing, 
which at the moment the blog doesn't as it's usually an anonymised 
person with no picture etc. If Crabgrass or whatever did this kind of 
thing that humanises being involved in Climate Camp then I'd be in 
favour of embedding that instead. And a randomly generated list of six 
'fans' of the Facebook groups is quite a good way to address security 
concerns I'd say. So I'm approaching it from that perspective not from 
wanting to help Facebook sell my data to the CIA.

Pulling out a feed is one thing but this is way way too far, to the point where i'd be prepared to block it (as in my admittedly minor involvement would come to an amicable end if this goes ahead). Remember the anti capitalist remit agreed by concensus at blackheath? We can do better than this ;-)
