Ask HN:Facebook “Like” button hiding content on a non Facebook site?

Do you know if its possible to have a Facebook “Like” button hiding content on a non facebook site?<p>Eg we know it’s possible to hide content on our fbml frames within Facebook eg www.Facebook.com/LiveBaseballChat but what i want to know is it possible to block the view of someone seeing non Facebook content unless they like a related page?<p>Eg can I have an image “hiding” the video or chat iframe on the www.LiveCourtChat.com page unless someone clicks a “Like” button for the www.Facebook.com/LiveCourtChat page?<p>Cheers,<p>Dean

This is definitely possible through a content locking gateway. I'm programatically retarded, but if it's not urgent, I'll have my programming friend write something up for you.

But, yes, this can definitely be done.

no rush, surprised no one has done it before/ seems like a basic idea? thats why i assumed it wasnt possible.
