I use the Twitter OAuth API to update my twitter user account (update Twitter status) if they give permission / authorization to my site with their twitter account. works great.
Can this be done with Facebook?
I was told that Facebook is connecting, but all I can find are pages telling how to make Facebook embedded apps (mini-sites that use INSIDE for the facebook app).
I do not want to do anything like that. I just want to allow the user to grant my read / write permissions to my account in my account (authorization), and then update my facebook status.
Can this be done? Any links to .NET examples?
EDIT: When I say “status update” does Facebook call this a “feed”? as in, are you posting a new feed item?
EDIT 2: Well, I tried browsing the web for some sample scripts to help visualize my problem.
YouTube does it. In YT, when you post a video, you can automatically update your Facebook status feed ... provided that you give YT permission to do so. Check out this screen ...

Notice how YT allows you to allow Facebook? This is what I am trying to do.
And .. (this is important) ... it's fire and forget. As soon as the user clicks the Facebook Connect link, he logs in, and then returns to the original (my) website, the user is no longer allowed to log in (this is what Twitter does, by the way).
So is this possible? What keywords do I need to search to do this in .NET, please?
