What do you guys think of providing a Fogger app for Facebook out of the box in
Luna? For those who don't know what I'm talking about, refer to this article:

I've used it, and it works rather well, actually. The killer feature for me
would be the desktop notifications and the badges (which work fine with Plank).
But that's not the reason I'm suggesting this.
IMHO including Facebook as a first-class app (in that Plank and Slingshot
handle it as one) would be a very good idea because let's face it, regardless
of your personal opinion about Facebook, the target audience of elementary will
use Facebook, and it will be pretty important to the user. When booting Luna
for the first time, seeing the Facebook logo on the dock will give the user a
feeling of familiarity and an impression of immediate usefulness. The main
point here is that we should use the recognizable logo to our advantage to make
the user feel that this platform will suit their needs.
And of course a handy one-click access to Facebook with desktop notifications
is good in it's own right :)
Thoughts?
