Inappropriate?If you install the Lightning extension, you can sync with Google Calendar. You can sync Facebook with Google Calendar: http://thesocialmediaguide.com.au/200...

Inappropriate?I tried to do that, but it only showed the events that I put in from Google, not the imported ones from Facebook. Also, is there a way to sync contacts like the Palm Pre does? -
Inappropriate?Do you mean sync contacts from Failbook? I would think some googling might help.
I found another way to sync the fbCal with Lightning: http://john.morriscode.ca/index.html?...
I'm not finding a way to sync contacts, though, and at one point there was an app for mac which synced your facebook friends with Address Book, then Facebook got real mad and said "NO DON'T DO THAT" and so facebook won't allow what you want to happen, to happen. It's considered a terms of service violation.
Back in the day -- OK, 2007 -- there was a spiffy little OS X app called Facebook Sync that pulled down your friends' contact info and added it to Address Book on your Mac. This was especially brilliant if you used iChat, because screen names would be imported so you could chat with most of your Facebook friends before there was a Facebook Chat. But Facebook Sync turned out to be too good to be true when Facebook decided it violated their Terms of Service. Address Book Sync partially fills the void by allowing you to bulk-add your FB contacts to Address Book -- minus the contact info.
The latest syncer will sync contacts, minus the contact info, which is probably not what you're looking for.
