Facebook used for wifi access control

The OpenWRT based fireware project Coova[1] has come up with a novel
form of access control. Access point visitors are sent to a facebook
application where they must login to their facebook account to prove
they are facebook friends with the access point owner. Facebook
friends are then allowed to use the access point.

Details and screenshots are here
