Can you link to the statement where Facebook explained its reasons for disallowing Friend Connect?

This was inevitable.

Facebook is like Anakin Skywalker. Itâ€™s got the potential for evil and itâ€™s inevitable that it will join the dark side aka Microsoft. Facebook canâ€™t monetize its audience and will never be able to. Social networking is a feature not a product. The only way anyone is getting their money out it is from an acquisition b/c the markets will never justify anything close to their valuation. And only Microsoft will be dumb enough to pay $15 billion for it, though theyâ€™ll probably negotiate a much smaller number as developers and others defect for OpenSocial et. al. Meanwhile, MySpace will become a music store and Google/Yahoo will offer social networking as a feature for all of their other productsâ€¦as well as yours and mine via FriendConnect. Facebook will eventually go the way of Netscape.

So who is Luke Skywalker to Facebook's Anakin? Twitter?

I can't say that this surprises me. I mean why would Facebook who is owned 10% by M$ want to allow Google access to their data? Welcome to DRM all over again. I am now coining the terms SRM, Social Rights Management (if it hasn't been coined already of course). Now to see who will win. My money's on Google in the long-term, but Facebook in the short-term.

Just today I made to some slides that the web slowly starts to abandon lock-ins. Now this. So what, I'll leave the slides like that. All this takes time. Someone does a step forth, another one follows. Sometimes there is someone hesitating.
