I need a LiveJournal-FaceBook cross-reference.

They have one, it's called "forget Facebook" :)

your livejournal blogs can be fed to facebook

learning real names is hard.

[furrbear.livejournal.com]

Not what I meant. That's not a cross-reference.

Quick!!! What's the LJ ID of Christopher Boggs, David Stevens, and Stephen Cooper? That's a cross reference.

Especially when there are so many. I knew a few to start, but this is overload.

no need to be bitchy

Oh, that's not bitchy...he and cowboyinvestor are owned by several cats...when he's bitchy, he just leaves flesh hanging by ribbons like kittehs :)

It's the Curse of Being a Popular Bear...LOL

Not sure if it will be very helpful, but you CAN find people in FB by e-mail address. It's another step between LJ and actual names, but it's something....

Please do not mistake terseness for bitchiness nor for snippiness.

You've not ever had bitchiness inflicted on you by me. You'd certainly know it if it had - the point of being nasty is to be painful. I make certain of that point if ever need be. I love you too much for that.

Get a hug and try not to take everything when someone disagrees with or corrects you as an attack.

[furrbear.livejournal.com]

yeah, but folks sometimes use different email addresses for each, severely limiting the usefulness of that approach.

It's been nice to see people's full names. Then again, I'm still more likely to remember someone's LJ handle.

I think either system can be readily hacked to provide on-hover info for the cross-ref. In the case of LJ, you can probably submit a patch for the perl yourself.

Failing that, if you're willing to keep a manual database, you could probably build a firefox plugin in XUL. :-)
