Palm WebOs FriendsFlow (facebook client NEW18/11

D/\SH

Owner - Staff
I've started writing a facebook app. It is currently in a "release candidate" stage.


NOTE: when the app starts up it will ask you to authorize the app via a web page. After you go through a few screens there it should go to a WebOS app. If it still looks like a web page you are doing it wrong. Restart the app and make sure to click on the buttons giving FriendFlow access to your account.
