Facebook To Open Source Facebook Platform
Sometime soon, perhaps this week, Facebook will turn the year-old Facebook Platform into an open source project, multiple sources have told us. The immediate effect will be to allow any social network to become Facebook Platform compatible - meaning application developers can easily take their Facebook applications and have them run on those social networks, too.

In my mind this is just about the worst news possible as I was hoping Facebook might offer an open social API. Not exactly surprising considering Microsoft has money in Facebook. I will predict this though, the social sites that allow open social hooks (APIs) will survive, those that don't, well the Internet moves pretty fast these days.[Reply]
