DISQUS

James Corbett · 2 years ago

Well said Paul. While I remain an active user of Twitter and Jaiku (social networking lite) I've lost all interest in Facebook (not that I ever used it much to begin with). The only sustainable Social Network longterm, IMHO, is the blogosphere (Call it blogopshere 2.0 if that doesn't make you puke ;-).

It's damn frustrating waiting for the microformats / OpenID / OAuth / whatever-else-is-needed ecosystem to bootstrap but it will eventually I think.

I'm not a huge fan of facebook myself. I do see some value in what it does but at the same time its not worth the kind of money.

I bet both our bosses will want us to build applications that integrate with the facebook platform before long though!!!

They sure will, Chris. I spent a weekend a few weeks ago building a facebook app to see how it worked. Pretty simple really, don't sweat it. Just keep the integration light.

I've done it myself. Well I went as far as running an application off localhost within facebook but didnt have time as of yet to go and deploy an application online so that I can get some exposure to the FBML and AJAX they have running behind it al... thats the stuff that really interests me.

I have to say Chris that I am staying well away from FBML and FBJS.
