FBCMD (R.I.P.)

April 30, 2015

The FBCMD (Facebook Command Line Interface) project is no longer active. You can still find the lukewarm corpse of the project at the links below.

I stared this project in 2007, when both facebook and I were very different.

I am now raising a family and have a demanding job. When I do get precious "free" time, there are other projects I'd rather spend my time on.

I stopped using FBCMD myself. I log in to facebook once a week and lurk around for a bit, but I rarely interact or share anything.

myself. I log in to facebook once a week and lurk around for a bit, but I rarely interact or share anything. Facebook is moving away from apps that have broad access and permissions.

It was too frustrating to keep up with facebook perpetually depricating features and changing its API.

The straw(s) that broke the camel's back were: depricating API 1.0, removing offline_access and changing the authentication model.

I want to thank the thousands that used FBCMD, the hundreds of people who sent kind words my way, and the dozens of people who contributed.

I have over 300 email messages in a "fbcmd-todo" folder that I will probably never "do". My sincerest apologies.
