Hi Michael, I have done five Facebook apps using ColdFusion and there are 3 others in the works right now.
In addition to the "traditional" Facebook application, Facebook now has the Facebook Connect option. What Facebook Connect allows you to do is for you to allow your users to log on using their Facebook user name and password. As a result, you can also access their Facebook profiles/information. You can view the details of Facebook Connect on http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Connect That said, you can keep the video files on your company site. At the same time, you incorporate the Facebook Connect option on your company site too. If anyone logs on using their Facebook credentials, you can provide an option for them to authorize your company to post the video files on their own profiles. This way, you are not creating a Facebook application but you get the job done. Is this the solution that you are looking for?
