- catalysis, on 10/17/2007, -2/+29Now all I need are some friends.
- mklopez, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30Is there anything similar to this for Windows? Or for other address book services (like Yahoo, Gmail, etc) ?
- aychamo, on 10/12/2007, -7/+20So basically you weren't going to do anything, because you don't know how to do any of it. Wow, you sure almost pulled it off!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Apple Address book is a "real" app. It is a huge part of OS X, in that all apps can read from it and then use it to things. Mac users have "real" apps too you know, Jackass.
- bomg31, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16this software is in beta at best, but it DOES work, and it deserves some attention, I acutally wanted to write this program myself a while back. mad props :)
- wiihuck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11i just used it. it worked well. it went through each of my contacts from facebook, and if there was info missing from a contact that was already in my address book it asked if i wanted to add the info or ignore. if the contact wasn't in my address book, it asked if i wanted to add or ignore. i just checked my address book and it worked well.
i did learn, though, that i have too many non-friend "friends" on facebook... - UberNick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8@kinkilr
Apollo is simply a tool that turns web-based Flex apps into full desktop applications. I don't see what this and the article have to do with each other. Are you referring to one of the sample Apollo projects? - McTendo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8My Ubuntu cries for this. :*(
- Jarhead085, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Now my path to being a facebook creeper is complete.
- theseventhyear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5thats great! but it dawned on me that about 80% of the friends on my facebook im never going to call and didnt upload them. wow
- marmanold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Awesome! I always wanted to have my friends photos in my address book, but never got around to getting their pictures. This is perfect!
- transversed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5In the early days of FB you could download all your friends contact info in vcard format and send it strait to address book. This app is only catching up to what the FB admins took away.
- ATLien, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7I don't use apple computers, but this is just cool!
- jads, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4for beta software, I've had absolutely no problems with it. With most sync software, I was expecting it to default all email address to 'home' etc, but it even categorised all the contact details correctly. Awesome stuff!
- unusualFall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4fongzulu: like this? iPhoto -> Facebook exporter: http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=2253657130
- jaredly, on 12/10/2007, -0/+3Bring it back, join this group to let facebook know you want this app back.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12328170170 - ajdl1925, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Just used it and it works quite well. Pleased with it especially as it ported over the display pictures too... Now I wonder how safe my password is now...
- adamawick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3If only my friends used better pictures of their faces as their profiles on--gasp!--facebook!
What about having an option to crop them during import like AddressBook doe? - commongiga, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This app works, but is definitely not very efficient or convenient to use. I love the idea of this app, and it seems like they have the nuts and bolts of it together, but a better UI would be nice. Maybe a checklist of people who you would like to sync with Address Book would make it a little better.
- joeycerone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3the program closes for me after I login to facebook.
anyone else having this problem? or any tips on how to get it to work? - drspringfield, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I wrote this. I don't think I'm particularly shady.
- flydaddyophus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I believe the program no longer works. It violated the Facebook Terms of Use agreement
- drspringfield, on 10/17/2007, -0/+2Hi, I'm the developer. Check out version 1.2 at http://fsbsoftware.com which fixes this problem (related to large friend count). Looks like you have too many friends for your own good!
- vatchea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this happened to me, it closed after logging in. When I opened it again, it started the download!
- PHovey, on 11/12/2007, -0/+2I feel like such a lazy stalker.
- zmigliozzi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2amazing, why didnt anyone think of this before?!
- npulido, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Check out these other Facebook additions that are mac friendly!
http://macnewsonline.com/wp/the-socially-networked-mac/ - Lounger540, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3No Mr. Sarcasm, actually I did come up with the idea, submitted it to the Facebook dev page, and started to write it in C++ and Carbon but decided I wanted to write my first OS X app in Cocoa so put it off until after I finish my CS degree next month. I was simply saying I'm glad some one else did this though as it really helped fill out the wholes in my contacts database. I've tried it on both my macs and it works great. I would love to contribute to the project too if the author releases the source.
- rhnaccounts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Get it while you can. Very likely to be zapped by Facebook. They put the kibosh on Facebook Downloader and 1 other windows-based Facebook downloader within the last year.
- singletrack861, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Holy crap. This is one of the best pieces of free software I've ever used.
- mastersarg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is awesome I've been thinking about how cool a program like this would be... now only if there was one for syncing Facebook to iCal so that I could then sync my events to my cell... *drule*
- willpatterson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i'm having the same problem
- CanuckMakem, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Argh... can someone please get me this software????
- ogmak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1amazing...
- lessew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Works perfect.
- blueigloo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Works great, awesome work!
- jackmaninov, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't see why they would pull the plug on this. It's using their API, as are tons of other apps (see http://developers.facebook.com/products.php).
I would suspect that the other products you mention were HTML rippers. Facebook probably doesn't want that, as it can't control it. Plus they would break every time Facebook changed its layout significantly; the Facebook developers wouldn't want people using stuff that seems broken. - kyl3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I came to a similar conclusion... and those who are actual friends don't have their phone numbers and whatnot in their profiles anyways.
- insanemike, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Nothing else to say other than: totally awesome
- fleetskeet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They already have an iPhoto export plugin for facebook.
- aliceinreality, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it hasn't asked me about every person on facebook, but reloading the application seems to make it find new people.
maybe fixed in later versions? still an awesome app though. - theundone, on 02/07/2008, -0/+1Does the older version still work? If so, where can I find it?
- TheCheeks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1love how it replaces the screennames on iChat with full names.
- djjoelyd, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I still have this app but it keeps crashing after i login. anyone else experiencing this? i have over 800 friends could that be why?
- fleetskeet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It says on the download page not to login to facebook while using it.
- Legolover64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Weird, mine starts and asks for login info, but then doesn't move beyond there and crashes...
No problem though, this is a definite download when it's out of beta! - vbagate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I love this program. It is simply amazing! Works great with PPC and Intel
- lisafordeg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wonderful! Almost all people think so
- russ3, on 10/18/2007, -0/+1has facebook now throttled this app? i wanted it so bad, i did get the 2.0 version instead of the current 2.2, but that is because i hear 2.2 can't get phone numbers - useless
- oscbash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought that was going to be neat until I found out that most of my friends have no email or phone info in their Facebook profile. This results in a bunch of empty cards for my friends with nothing but a pic.
