Ok, so now you got a facebook badge in your live space, but what if you don´t got one or you prefer to have a more featured one in vista sidebar?. wel that is no more a problem thanks to a greek gadget competition that inspired Kostas Pantos to develop a facebook gadget as his project, so now you can download it at the live gallery for you to use away.
with it you can:
The myFacebook gadget allows you to bring Facebook right into your windows vista desktop. With it you’ll be able to change your status, see your friends’ statuses, groups, notifications, albums and events.
After installing it you’ll have to pass Facebook authentication process a number of times and authorize myFacebook gadget to see your Facebook info, before being able to use it. You optionally can create a persistent session to avoid multiple logins.
And if you need more directions to install it i recommend this post in Inside Microsoft and you are set go.
I personally like the widget, it does hold potential to do even more so i hope kostas continues to improve it.

@daniel: interesting. i see you are a method similar to what is also used for the IE8 Activities to Vista Gadgets. maybe you should look for that and make the gadget look Vista like.
i will still evaluate it and post it later i guess. thanks
