How deep will Facebook integration be? I know it will sync contacts, and possibly calendars, etc. But I wish it would have iMessage integration so that I can chat and see messages marked read from Facebook properly, instead of being locked down to iMessage. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

i already have it installed and so far ..
Contacts
they are separated from your standard contacts unfortunately and dont even try to "match" with your other contacts which leads to the mess of having many contacts to show up twice now
iCalendar
birthdays show up as well as events
same problem as the "Contacts" - birthdays show up twice because contacts dont "match"
NotificationCenter
not functional yet
Safari etc.
you can share pictures, links etc. to facebook
its basically the same as the twitter integration

This link above is a small .dmg that once installed will enable mountain lions facebook integration, no waiting until fall! Set up will take under a minute. Just install this and once done open system preferences. Go to the "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" section to set up your facebook account. You will now be able to share and post to facebook much like with twitter.

not enabled yet, its still a "preview" after all
apple is probably still working with fb on a great solution for everything
the only thing you can do right now it post updated from NC.

yea its not working for me the way i imagined it
see
why would i need the contacts in the iCloud and AGAIN as facebook contacts, i thought it would match the facebook contacts with your iCloud contacts but instead u get the same contact twice
same issue on bdays. adds the same birthday reminder twice
That's **** if the contact sync doesn't merge with your contacts. What would be good is real choice, the ability to sync from FB only those contacts you already have and sync all. These should merge with your contacts not create more duplicates!
I ran into a strange problem after installing the beta plugin. I posted about it here. (Found another post on Apple’s website, here)
After installing the plugin, opening the Mail, Calendars, and Contacts preference pane gives this message in a pop-up window: You can’t open Mail, Contacts & Calendars preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac.
When I click OK and try, again, I get a different message that slides down from the top of the preferences window, and is the same message I get until I close Preferences: Could not load Mail, Contacts & Calendars preference pane.
I tried deleting the Facebook plugin from /System/Library/InternetAccounts/ but still get the same error. Tried also removing plugin from /System/Library/SocialServices but no dice.
Any ideas?
Edit: Solution from Apple Support discussion. (Bolded text my clarification)

go to notification center in system pref. they do not work yet but it shows what will most likely be in the integration when it is finished
Facebook doesn't even show up in there for me. I can post statuses and use share sheets to facebook though.
Well, as long as the names are identical, the contacts merged for me. Dual birthdays though.
that is weird i don't know why it's not showing up.
Got it! I reinstalled and restarted. It's there now. Thanks for the assist.
