Hi Monte, I've tried responding via email a couple times, but it didn't seem to take (very odd), so now I'm trying through the website.
Facebook Connect is closer to what I need, but I was hoping for something seamless for our users (who are *ahem*, mostly less than computer savvy). I was reading up on Connect, and it looks like I still need to have authorization from the user to upload video to their account. Is there a way to do this with my CF templates? Basically, setup your Facebook account here CF page, with username/password and authorization to upload video to your account? I know that iPhoto does this, but is this a case of Apple telling Facebook that they want to do this because we're Apple? YouTube was simple compared to this... Thanks Again!
