The latest from Facebook: 'Open Stream API'

The latest from Facebook: 'Open Stream API'
By Caroline McCarthy, CNET News.comTuesday, April 28, 2009 11:47 AM
A post on the Facebook developer blog announced the big application program interface (API) update from the social network, which it's calling the Open Stream API.
It's the first major implementation of an emerging (read: brand new) open standard called Activity Streams, on which Facebook has been collaborating with developers for the past few months.
Basically, what it means is that third-party developers will have access to a feed of all content posted to news feeds--notes, photos, videos, links, "likes" and comments, and activity from other applications built on the social network's platform.
