CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi all!

It seems there are a number of open ends when it comes to make CiviCRM work together with Facebook (or similar kind of social networks). I found two quite reasonable pages, for example:

• http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/Facebook+Integration (started 2007, last comment more than a year ago)
  
• http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/Social+CRM

Actually, did I miss anything or isn't there any kind of data sync between Facebook and CiviCRM? For example, we use CiviCRM in our organization and we also maintain a Facebook page. So it would be obvious IMO for example to look for any kind of data sync between the people who like our page and the people who we keen in our database.

I have seen some recent work on CiviEvent posting events to Facebook. This is pointing in that direction. But before we start any work of our own I thought I'd better double-check here.

There has been a presentation on that subject at CiviCON, again, already last year:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/download/attachments/39452787/Social-CRM.pptx?version=1&modificationDate=1299695870000

Just it's not clear to me if that's also kind of a suggestion (should / could be done) or it the presenter was talking about an existing implementation.

Would this be a feature which other would want to use as well?

Regards,
Torsten
