Facebook’s JavaScript client library

Double quote marks Facebook's new JavaScript client library will allow Facebook applications to be served from any website. This could open the door to Facebook applications on MySpace, for example. Double quote marks

Facebook have just announced a JavaScript library to access their API from any site. That may seem like a very small, technical improvement on their API but it has one important benefit: Facebook applications do not have to be served within Facebook any more.

Similarly to Open Social, it will now be possible to build a Facebook application that will work on any website yet use the friends network, notifications, stories and all the other functionality of Facebook. For instance: Facebook widgets could now be deployed on MySpace.

It will be interesting to see how the change starts to appear in applications and if there’s an appetite for using Facebook as a platform in the way that the creators are hoping.
