Early Version of Facebook Application is Up

For Facebook users, here’s something, via MattB, that you can use to plug Dopplr into the social-networking site:

Go here and add the app (when asked, you’ll need to check the box to stay permanently logged in).

You’ll be asked to sign in to Dopplr with your usual login details. This is so we can associate your Dopplr account with your Facebook profile ID.

Now look at your Facebook profile page and you should see the ‘Dopplr’ box. This will update every day with your current location. On days when you’re travelling, we’ll add a news item to your mini-feed telling people where you’re going (or returning) to.

Please keep in mind that we’re still working on this. But do let us know if you have any difficulties. You can also discuss Dopplr on the Facebook group.

  1. Any updates on this? The “html tag not supported” bug is going strong. Just wondering if anyone is looking into it.

    There are a few posts about it on the Facebook Group but I didn’t see anything official so I thought I’d post here.

    Best!


  2. We have a new version on our development servers that fixes this bug - we’ll be deploying after a little more testing. We’ll also be restarting development on the facebook app with some new features before long.


  3. A fixed version of the Facebook app is now live and installable again.
