We have a plasma addons for facebook and i see more and more application integrate a social experience in their software (digikam and gwenview integrate picasa, flickr, etc.).
For amarok, it's not like a spam but more like sharing culture(off course facebook is not really usefull but more and more people love to show what they do so not what they're listening to?). I think it's possible to do something like that. I'm agree with telepathy libs, and just right now take a look on it and try to integrate in amarok ;)

You can not do that with Telepathy, it's about chat only, like the
chat facebook provides on their site.
What you are talking about is status updates. As far as I know there
is no common web-API for that so you'll have to implement it for each
social network you want to support.

I'm not sure what the benefit is for users, except to annoy their
facebook friends with their badly tagged song updates ;) But who
knows, it's certainly buzzword compliant.
