Facebook Platform Available To Public.
TechCrunch just announced that Facebook has made an interesting move in making there platform open source. It is available for people to download and use under their copyright rules. As far as competing with Open Social then it is a smart move since you never want to stay back in an industry where everything is about the latest technology.
The fb-open-platform.tar.gz archive contains the tools necessary to implement Facebook Open Platform — including the API, FBML (Facebook Markup Language), FBJS (Facebook JavaScript), and FQL (Facebook Query Language) — in your own environment
This might lead to more Social Networks opening up, some public and some private. It is bad for people who have been investing in social networks and now have this new resource available. This also reminds me of the time part of the source code was leaked but not very useful.
