In Chapter 11, Facebook and Drupal, we integrated the popular social networking application Facebook with our Drupal site using multiple contributed modules. This allows us to post our Drupal nodes and content out to our Facebook profile page as status posts and also to integrate our Facebook content with our Drupal site. The Drupal for Facebook suite of modules enables you as a Drupal developer also to write applications for integration with Facebook. You can also integrate your Facebook users and user account credentials with your Drupal account system and user base.
The Drupal for Facebook suite of modules provides you as a Drupal developer with methods for writing custom applications for integration of Facebook with Drupal.
