AddressBooker & exporting my Facebook Phonebook

[brad]

This 4-day weekend was awesome for catching up on personal hacking projects. In addition to adding IPv6 support to Perlbal and hacking on my interactive shadow/art wall more, I also worked on a little address book management tool, AddressBooker [source hereBasically AddressBooker takes a POST of contacts data in JSON form, and does stuff with it,

Thanks so much

Worked without a hitch.
As a side note, this is what caused me to finally break down and install GreaseMonkey. Congratulations, I guess.

I really hope that someday I can buy you a beer.

Would it be possible to add more data than just phone number (email, aim sn) and including all friends even those without listed phone numbers?

Thanks for the tool, worked great!

Thanks dude

My theorem of great software ideas, "if you think of it, it must already exist," is borne out again. FWIW, the vCard export, at least for me, put the whole name into the last name, so when I merged the new stuff with my existing (OS X 10.5) address book, I got entries like "Robert Robert Smith." A small price to pay, though!

The merge worked fine for me, but was it supposed to import the facebook default pictures into gmail? I got all of my phone numbers/names/emails merged, but no photos? When addressbooker popped up asking if the merge was correct it showed each picture...

Yeah, haven't done that yet.

That would definitely be a sweet feature to put the facebook defaults onto your phone. From the looks of it, you are a strong supporter of android, which easily syncs android with google contacts. Since the addition of google sync for blackberrys, the same abilities are available for those phones too. I'm really excited to be able to eventually sync my facebook info onto my storm (through google).

Any idea when you'd get around to figuring out a way to get the pictures from facebook (you already get them into addressbooker properly) imported correctly into gmail?

ToS violation

Having spent a lot of time in the FB world, this is probably against the Terms of Use. http://www.facebook.com/terms.php... )

Use at your own risk, then. However, the script does do 1 second pauses between flipping pages, and HTTP requests come from your own browser's user-agent and cookies, so it'd be a little hard to fingerprint.
