Facebook Apps On Any Website : Smart Move
Facebook on Friday announced yet another feature that could allow the developers of Facebook Apps, to take it possibly to the next level by allowing them to create Apps that would work on any website out there. All this is done through a simple JavaScript library that the developers could use to display their apps on other website’s.
Here is what Wei Zhu of Facebook had to say about the new library
Since the library does not require any server-side code on your server, you can now create a Facebook application that can be hosted on any web site that serves static HTML. An application that uses this client library should be registered as an iframe type. This applies to either iframe Facebook apps that users access through the Facebook web site or apps that users access directly on the app’s own web sites. Almost all Facebook APIs are supported.
I have to say, that this really is a good move considering the popularity that the Facebook Apps have. If the developers could take it beyond Facebook and leverage the power of the Open Web, then it means a big win for Mark Zuckerberg and team.
