The motivator was to get a mini-feed entry on facebook when I post a new node on perlmonks. It's not horribly useful or substantial, but it's a step up from facebook's usual pokes and virtual drinks and werewolf bites.

My wordpress blog has a plugin (wordbook) that posts to facebook automatically when I write a blog entry, so I hope to copy from the plugin and translate it javascript.

The big picture is that the web is full of disparate communities, and I want to create some links.

Your suggestion looks like it has merit. Thanks!
