Facebook Quietly Offers Storage to Developers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the developers-times-three dept.

Lucas123 writes "Facebook has quietly started offering beta testers access to the latest version of a new storage service, according to Computerworld's Brian Fonseca. The wiki does warn users that the page is still in development and that users should make sure that data used in testing the service is properly backed up. Nick O'Neill, creator of the blogsite AllFacebook.com, said it would be "revolutionary" if the service is free."

    It opens the door to more developers. Today if you write a facebook application that holds user data, then you'd better be ready to build out a large infrastructure to store that data if your application becomes popular. In a world where facebook will store end user application data the little guy developers have a chance.

    This is Facebook we're talking about. It's already loaded with images.
