Jailbreak Only: WeeFacebook - A Facebook Widget For Notification Center

Another iOS 5 Notification Center widget to hit the jailbreak scene is WeeFacebook. This handy jailbreak tweak adds a Facebook widget to Notification Center, much like WeeTwitter - which we told you about the other day.
Since the release of iOS 5 (beta 1), jailbreak developers have been hard at work creating widgets for Notification Center. While these are great, it's not yet known whether Apple will allow developers to legitimately create these widgets, or even if this would be a good thing.
Unfortunately, WeeFacebook isn't yet available to download in Cydia. However, the installation process isn't difficult:
First, download and install MobileTerminal (for iPhone, available in Cydia) and iPhone Explorer (for your desktop computer).
Second, download this file on your desktop computer, then (in iPhone Explorer) copy and paste the contents to "/var/mobile."
Third, launch MobileTerminal and type "login" and then "root," enter your password (which, by default, will be "alpine") and input the following text:
Reboot your iPhone, and the widget should be installed. If you're looking to jailbreak your iPhone, there are two different options currently available - redsn0w and sn0wbreeze.
