Do you know if its possible to have a Facebook “Like” button hiding content on a non facebook site?

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?

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?

Cheers,

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.
