Facebook Open architecture, Platform enclosure competition upgrades

December 13, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/1560.html ">facebook announced that it will open the development platform architecture to other social networking sites:

' We want to share the results of our work and let other sites use our platform architecture as a model, ' Vora, a senior Facebook platform manager, said in a blog recently. In fact, we will also authorize the Facebook platform method and tags to be used by other platforms, Vora wrote. In other words, 100,000 developers with Facebook apps will be able to transfer their apps directly to other social networking sites without any extra work. Since then, the UK's largest dating site Bebo and the Instant Messaging website Meebo has announced that it will use Facebook's platform technology.

Facebook's announcement of an open platform architecture is no doubt a powerful riposte to Google's Opensourse plan, and it is likely to make Google a bit more of a headache at a time when Google's opensourse is still a test and wait-and-see period.

In a sense, Facebook's open platform architecture and Google's opensourse are doing similar things, providing standardized platform rules that will benefit the application's network portability and make users feel better. The former Facebook itself is a platform that attracts third-party widget developers to provide apps, and open Facebook is likely to become a bigger platform, with Facebook setting the standard for broader platform development, Opensourse But I 211.html "> Think Facebook has a better edge.

1. Facebook's platform is relatively mature. With a large number of users of Facebook, the first to set platform standards for the site, and has been operating for nearly a year, Facebook's platform thinking has become a role model, and compared to opensourse, it may be more than a wait-and-see state.

2. Facebook has a large number of sophisticated widgets. If a SNS site wants to attract more apps, the easiest way is to copy Facebook widgets, which, according to the unified standards, can be very fluid-transformed, This is best for SNS websites and widget providers.

The future platform standards will be a big way, Facebook and Google are going to rob this market, the so-called open, I think more accurately is "enclosure", the industry standards are always above the industry, but it also means that the emergence of a more open Internet, More small companies can be applied to the SNS platform, by boat, the Internet to achieve a more open interoperability, this is absolutely a good feeling.
