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
Facebook's OpenGraph, Three Months Later
The Facebook Gravitational Effect | Monday Note
Over the next twelve months, the media industry is likely to be split between those who master the Facebook system and those who don’t.

Eric Kerr | Facebook Vulnerability: Like Clickjacking
The Facebook Open Graph Like Button is susceptible to a type of attack known as clickjacking . Basically, if the like button is embedded on the page you’re on, made completely transparent, then an attacker could trick you into Liking something without your discretion. More advanced versions might use cookies to detect when a user is returning so they can actually use the site after presumably clicking the like button. Other modifications might include detection on when a user clicks the invisible iframe so it is removed without the user knowing and browsing returns to normal (this works in IE and Firefox, but not Chrome to my knowledge because of iFrame security). The above demo arbitrarily hides the button after 10 seconds and leaves the button visible for effect.
