Sharing geographic data and maps is at the core of GeoCommons, and today we took it one step further. You can now embed your maps directly into your Facebok feed allowing your friends to interact with a map right there an then. The best part is that you don’t need to do anything special: just paste a link to a geocommons map into the Facebook feed, and we will take care of the rest.
This is one of the many exciting new features of GeoCommons2.0 – stay tuned for more.

Is that oEmbed, or some other magic going on?
I think I have changed my facebook settings somewhere, and cannot do this in any browser in ubuntu or windows. Does anyone know what I should change to be able to see this?
It appears that the embeds aren’t playable if you’re using HTTPS connection to Facebook. The security settings prevent loading the HTTP content. We’ll look into a solution.
@Ross – we’ve added some metadata to geocommons page to enable FB to automatically pull our embeds.
Very cool!! Definitely will try this on our next project…
