[LM_NET] update on Gale widgets for FB

[Lisa Gonzalez <lgonzalez@VCS.NET>]

Minutes after posting my question yesterday, I received a call from Gale tech 
support.  They said they'd look into whether or not their database widgets can be 
used on Facebook fan pages.  I heard back from them this morning, and 
unfortunately, it's not possible.  They can only be placed on a profile, not a fan 
page.

This is a shame since I've heard of several schools using fan pages for their 
Facebook presence.  I'm not sure if this is due to a technical issue on Gale's side 
or Facebook's side, but it's unfortunate either way.  Maybe something will be 
developed in the future that will allow the widgets to be posted on fan pages.

I did appreciate that Gale contacted me, though.
