Facebook threw a big party for all the folks in the SF Valley this past week and I missed it. Facebook to take on Google!? That is fairly ambitious...this brings up the question: Do all web roads lead to SEARCH?
Anyone who was anyone was at this developer conference and it seems that Facebook could have made a quieter splash but I guess there is nothing stealthy about the fact that they are looking to allow completely open widget capable user profiles. This is somehow supposed to change the web and have more people using Facebook for search???
I'm not convinced...Open html for custom profiles and open APIs are nothing new since many other social networking sites like TagWorld have been allowing users to do this for years. I guess it will be interesting because they are the 6th most visited website in the US or maybe it was because they were able to hold a conference about it...
This move though has allowed a bigger question...how will Social Aggregator websites like socialURL take advantage of such moves? I sense some new releases coming for SocialURL members - this is truly exciting and its only the beginning...
