I read this great post on Mozilla Links on how to add the new Facebook app to your Firefox sidebar. Check it out, it is cool.

SO, I have been playing with the FB chat for number of days now. I have not yet decided if I like it or not. It is simple, lets meet connect with friends, however do I really need another chat product?

I read this morning that FaceBook released a new update for its BB app. http://www.berryreview.com/2008/02/18/facebook-application-gets-upgraded-to-10022/

SO I decided to install the update. What happened really got to me. The FaceBook icon disappeared on my blackberry. Where did it go?

I searched the web, and found no solution. I posted on some forums and all the solutions I got where no good. I decided that maybe this was related to the BB theme I had installed. I know what you are thinking; I had the FB app working fine on the same theme, so why would I have a problem that I upgraded? Well I do not know the answer; however it is related to the theme somehow. I did not have the default theme active on my BB.

So here is the solution:

1. delete the FaceBook app from your blackberry
2. reboot your blackberry
3. one rebooted, change the theme to the default theme
4. Download and install the FaceBook app again.
5. change your theme to whatever you want

I hope this helps.

Enjoy!
