Facebook Launches Developer API

Posted by ryuzaki0 on 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."

    Sorry this is off-topic, but someone has to call this out... Did anyone else see the shady work-at-home-and-get-rich ad that is in the rotation on the SlashDot homepage?
    I call for everyone to e-mail the slashdot editors and lobby for them to have this garbage excluded. (it's an ads-by-Google ad)
