Facebook game?

would the TGB be used to make a facebook game? By is it possible of course I mean, without any huge changes to the source code. Actually I'm not exactly sure how developing facebook games works, so if someone could give me a useful link or explaination also, that would be great.

Facebook games are games that are rendered in the browser, while making use of some facebook functionality to connect what you're doing in the game with your friends on the network. (when you reach a certain level in FarmVille, it gets broadcast to your friends, you can invite your friend to a new game of FarmVille from within the game).
As long as TGB isn't run in the browser, it won't be possible.

At the moment, TGB does not have a web export functionality built in.

actually if you use plugins like OSAkit you can run games made in TGB in a browser.
