You know that bit at the end of a film, where two giant robots smash into each other, and become one super giant robot with glowing eye beams that takes over the world? Well apparently now livejournal is becoming integrated with facebook.

(Specifically, one of the options on lj posts status updates to your facebook mini-feed reporting what posts you make.)

does it only do it for unlocked posts?

Yes.

I think you need to be logged in to FB at the time too.

Yes, and what Rob said too. I think the technique relies on being logged into facebook, as facebook logins are the one thing you can't fiddle with an "application" but being unlocked was just the obvious choice, as the lj applet is part of livejournal rather than a third-party add-in, it could see locked posts, but wisely doesn't extend it that far.

I think it *could* do, for instance, livejournal could have an option to consider facebook friends one friend group you could choose to show locked posts to, authenticating them with an open-id system or something.
