We've known since last week that Facebook has an announcement coming on Thursday: the Facebook F8 event in San Francisco will mark the "unveiling of the next evolution of Facebook". It will focus on the Facebook Platform, and enabling further development on top of Facebook. Now the WSJ spills the beans on what might be happening.
Facebook Platform
Facebook social plugins are a quick and easy way to extend your social reach and engage your website’s visitors with social interaction. The Facebook social plugins are easily installed. On each plugin’s page — noted below — in the Facebook Developers section, the configuration tool lets you simply configure the plugin and get code. Drop an iframe onto your page, or use advanced techniques — such as JavaScript SDK and XFBML — for more versatility.

Facebook’s Social Widgetization Of The Web
On April 21st, Facebook celebrated the 1st birthday of its now ubiquitous “Like” button, and promptly shared the news that 10,000 sites are, like, using the plugin every day. The social networking behemoth then continued its parade of social widgets last week , giving the Like button a new partner in crime with the “Send” button, which allows users to directly share content with their Facebook Groups, Facebook friends, or any standard email address. And gives site designers yet another widget to integrate into their code.
