Facebook Launches Developer API

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday August 17, 2006 @03:00AM from the web-nine-point-oh dept.

andrewman327 writes "The popular college social networking site Facebook recently unveiled an API open to developers. Programmers can utilize data from profiles, friends, photos, and events. An early example is FaceBank, which allows students to keep track of how much money they have lent their friends. The appeal of this platform will be slightly limited, however, as both developers and users must be members of Facebook. Facebook is the 60th most popular website for American websurfers and recently allowed high school students and employees of certain companies to join."

You probably just need to relax a little. Maybe it should rub some lotion on it's skin before it gets the hose again.

Oh good... one more reason to return to the site more than the 22 times I do during the day already.
