Hi Triode, thanks for following-up with me. I did look into this a bit
and it appears that the Spotify desktop application uses Facebook's
Open Graph API to make the updates. Updates made through Open Graph
appear to be just HTTP POST - I can post something to my wall using
curl on the command line. . . Spotify uses HTTPS for the entire
transaction so capturing the traffic wasn't particularly useful.

However, to have something like your plugin make an update to a
specific application on Facebook, like Spotify, one would most likely
need Spotify's Facebook access token in addition to the user's Facebook
credentials. The latter is already available via SBS and it's own manual
Facebook updates. The former is the real showstopper.

I'm going to send a note to Spotify to see if there's any chance of
them adding Facebook integration into the library they distribute to
developers.

In the meantime, I may put together a little proof of concept app to
run on my SBS that takes whatever I'm listening to and posts it to my
wall automatically, like Spotify does when not in Private Session mode.
