I doubt Microsoft invested close to a billion dollars in face book for their technology.</p><p>How does developing for face book help anyone but facebook ?<br>Once you do the development work for facebook your app will not work easily outside of the face book plantation. This means that Face Book owns your application as well as the data of members that you have helped them capture.</p><p>Why does developing for face book involve using non standard development methods when there are well known open source standards that could be used ? Because facebook wants to be the standard and they want you to develop for their platform so that you can help them become the standard. I think we have seen this before; and we are still living with the repercussions.</p><p>Developers you have choices to make. I understand if you develop apps for facebook or any other non open standard platform. But please understand that their are ramifications for the choices that you make that go far beyond the facbook and myspace silos.</p>williamMon, 20 Oct 2008 12:52:53 -0000
