Facebook app for Milestones

Wasn't sure which forum to post this in, so please feel free to move it if applicable.

I've been working on a Facebook application which when signed up for will make a wall post for any of the BOINC milestones you pass. This is not just World Community Grid specific but any of the projects for your CPID

If anyone is interested and has a facebook page, then please feel free to try it out here

I have 25 people using it so far nd in the past 2 weeks or so it's been working well.

In the next few days we hope to get the initial page fixed up somewhat but it's fairly simple to follow I think as is.

Basically, you accept the application (standard facebook) then follow the instructions on the page itself, by entering your CPID and then going to the link to allow the app permission to post to your stream - if you've done it all correctly you'll actually see your recent milestones on that page anyway.

From then on, any day that you pass a milestone in World Community Grid or any BOINC project for that CPID it will post it to your wall, also for combined milestones too.

I'm 90% through coding of posting your team milestones as well, though may make that optional.

It has been fairly interesting writing this app and I see many future possibilities for it also, though many of them will require the co-operation of the various BOINC projects and possible extensions added into the BOINC framework code..

For instance, posting when you get the lowest energy in a Rosetta molecule, or when you reach a new badge level here in World Community Grid..
