Facebook Open Graph Seeks to Deliver Real-Time Serendipity
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has just unveiled the new Facebook Open Graph and Facebook Gestures. At the f8 conference in San Francisco, Zuckerberg unveiled the company’s plan to extend connections and sharing to the next level. As we reported earlier , Facebook felt constrained by the Like button because it was an implicit endorsement of content. Facebook wants users to share everything they are doing, whether it’s watching a show or hiking a trail, so it decided to create a way to “express lightweight activity.”
In Facebook's f8 keynote today, CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced two new classes of applications for the Facebook platform. In addition to communications apps and games, Facebook will support media and lifestyle apps. The change is designed to feed into Facebook's "Open Graph" of user information, which has been rearranged to suit two new purposes: Filling out the user Timeline - Facebook's new way of displaying every user's curated life stream - and discovering new things with friends. Media apps like Spotify , which Zuckerberg demonstrated in the keynote , now allow users to post their live activity, listening to music, for example, so that other friends can join in.
Facebook's Open Graph Is About Curating Your Life
The Facebook user profile page has undergone significant changes over the past six years. In the beginning, it contained descriptive static text. Over time, the company has made the Wall – which functions both as a stream of user-published content and semi-public communication – the most visible component of the page, migrating the more static elements to a secondary Info tab today. Last year, with the launch of the “Open Graph” API, Facebook gave some new life to the Info tab by automatically placing Liked pages and sites in the appropriate categorized list on the Info tab.

Facebook's OpenGraph, Three Months Later
It's been about 90 days since the f8 Facebook Conference and the debut of OpenGraph , a platform consisting of publisher plugins, semantic markup and a developer API. Every new vehicle needs time for a shakedown drive, to bang out the kinks and to see if users can make something of it. In point of fact, users have made something of it. fbLike has compiled a list of six OpenGraph success stories, and possible models, for use of the Facebook platform, and were good enough to share it with ReadWriteWeb's readers. fbLike was created as a dashboard for Facebook users, built solely on OpenGraph, to function as a social recommendation engine. Abhinav Prathivadi launched it as part of a university project at UC Berkeley in May. CNN
Retour le 21 avril au soir : Facebook organise l'événement F8 au cours duquel il va annoncer les évolutions de sa plate-forme à destination des développeurs. A titre personnel, je n'ai pas vu l'annonce dont je n'ai a priori rien à attendre. Un premier twitt de Nicolas attire mon œil :
