I have been tasked with adding social site functionality to a LabVIEW application. The goal is to let the user enter their Facebook and/or Twitter ID & password and then be able to sent updates periodically. The hangup with posting to Twitter has been discussed in this post.
On the Facebook front, my searching has turned up empty so far. Has anyone done any work to try to blaze a path from LabVIEW to Facebook or am I the first one trying to get there from here?
Thanks,
Travis

Facebook does have a REST API, but it looks like it's being deprecated (you have to have a Facebook account to view it, which I do not).
REST API's are by far going to be the easiest to work with in LabVIEW. Twitter's is actually fairly well documented, though I do agree that OAuth is a little difficult to navigate. It's certainly built more for web applications than desktop applications (as LabVIEW generally is).

A new API is not available here: Twitter API for LabVIEW
