This is crazy. Yet I’m impressed that Facebook could launch that initiative. The interesting thing would be that Scrabulous would still be playable and everyone would have one of that plugin into their personal website and start playing with their friends!

The value of one’s Facebook User ID definitely goes up with this announcement. If the web as a whole begins to tailor content to unique users using this technique Facebook is in a very enviable position. They have positioned themselves to be both the operating system and directory of the social Internet.
It is true that before the Facebook JavaScript announcement it was still possible to show the contents and interact with a Facebook application without having to go to facebook.com. In the past this could have been accomplished by writing code on the server that was somehow tied to the application. For example, CNN could have had code on their website that forced a Facebook login and told you who your Top Friends are and what Free Gifts you have.
This new JavaScript platform makes the process much easier. No server side code is required at all. The press release is also an indication that Facebook wants developers to create applications that function from outside facebook.com. Note: You must still login in to both Facebook and the application in order for this to function. Facebook is still in control of their data.
This JavaScript library also makes it possible now for any number of website to use a Facebook application as a widget on their site without the application creator’s permission. If you see the Free Gift widget on display at CNN.com it doesn’t take much work to ‘borrow‘ the JavaScript and put it on your own website. This can, obviously, be controlled but will require consideration by the application designer.
The restriction of “IFrame only” will likely require that applications are redesigned to take advantage of this new feature of the Facebook platform. Many popular applications are not built as “IFrame” apps. It is my opinion, though, that any application that wishes to be portable across the Facebook platform and OpenSocial will have to go IFrame eventually.
I will put together a more interactive example of this new Facebook Platform feature today. I will let you know what I find at http://www.thoughtlabs.com.

This is definitely something that could be big. One thing to again realize is that Facebook is still trying to find a way to really make money off this thing they have going. Im sure it is a very good step. Lets all remember how Google became Google with Adsense.

facebook is dead.
Ads are worthless and there is no business not even entertainment on there.
so that little feature of exporting apps via JS is useless.
I have yet to see a useful facebook app that has enough users

Facebook could not relish in the destination site social network success forever, their growth was being stymied by their own walled garden. So the next logical expansion - become a platform and start by opening it up in a controlled manner. This announcement, as Jeremiah Owyang confirms on his blog, is not new but rather an announcement targeted, in developer lingo, directly to developers - great strategy to keep FB constantly on the radar, but also provides an opportunity for other companies to let the world know what they are doing in this arena. The concept of a distributed network for content is just being realized by FB, but has been the foundation from the start of in2apps. More than distributed content, in2apps has a distributed web strategy for community and commerce as well. The in2apps SaaS platform enables any online publisher to deploy revenue-producing products like social network, classified, and advertising services and by default distributes the relevant profile and classified content across all publishers using an in2apps solution. The intent - to distribute and share affinity-based content, community, and commerce instantly. In addition, the in2apps three-level API will allow for unlimited distribution and rapid adoption by developers everywhere. Going beyond the FB approach of opening web services to access data from within the walled garden, in2apps is an entire development framework for building on-demand web applications that are delivered via a GRID computing environment - now that’s developmental freedom!

Enough already facebook!

You need to fix your existing platform first BEFORE you start expanding it across the web. As a developer, it makes me mad that every week they keep adding new calls and features and breaking the existing apps. Just look at the list of bugs on bugzilla.

P.S. FIX YOUR FB:BOARD TAG ALREADY!
