That Google Chrome extension for exporting friends from Facebook is interesting because one could replicate Padmapper's functionality in a browser extension using CL's RSS and one of the mapping APIs (Google, OSM, etc.).
I can only think of one reason not to make this a browser extension, and that would be to give a middleman the opportunity to completely subsume CL's role. This sounds like it could be a good beginner project for me.
- ericd 14y agoNo, the main reason not to do that is that the barrier to usage for non-technical people is a lot higher than with a no-install website, and you need to be using a browser that supports extensions, so its aggregate usefulness is much lower.
