Facebook Releases fbOpen Platform
June 2, 2008
Facebook officially released the fbOpen Platform, which is essentially the framework that runs Facebook Platform. Included is the API infrastructure, the FQL, FBML, and FBJS parsers, and implementations of many common methods and tags. According to the press release, the intention of the release is “to help you as developers better understand Facebook Platform as a whole and more easily build applications, whether it’s by running your own test servers, building tools, or optimizing your applications on this technology.”
With the exception of the FBML parser, Facebook Open Platform is licensed under a Common Public Attribution License (CPAL), which follows the Mozilla Public License (MPL) with the following two additions.
- That you include attribution to Facebook on any modifications.
- That network deployment, or making modifications available over the network, counts as distribution, which makes the license appropriate for Web services.
The platform can be downloaded on the official Facebook Open Platform page.

Got something to say?
How about a little concern for all of your Facebook faithfulls. I have been trying to get help for 3 days and the only response I get is how to change my password. That is not my problem and none of your forms or forums or anthing addresses my problem. Since I posted this information on facebook, counless people feel the same way. You are supposed to be one of the most successful social networks around but I wonder how long that will last if you keep treating all of us, who made you successful, the way you do. All we are asking is someone to help us with our site problems. Is that so hard?
All I have been asking for the past 10 days, is for you to send me a code in order for me to be able to reset my password so I can access my FB Please!
I have been trying for a month to get logged on!!!! Please help!!!! There is no one to talk too and I am tired of your stupid links that doesnt HELP!!!
I realize there are always bugs & glitches please work on them so we can make facebook better. The site has made the news for many good things including breast cancer awareness on Good Morning America & nationwide channels. Keep up the good work & please please fix the bugs & glitches my sending has gone down considerable. It was supposed to at least increase as there was a problem but it has not. Thank you for your time in these considerations as you must receive thousands a day.
to have stolen facebookut and msn address please reset password
Hey Facebook , You let every user down !
I think the creator of Facebook has set himself as Gods greatest creators .
Why would a company hide from it’s users ?? You have a problem and you can’t get help from them .
You have someone take a childs page off for no reason and no explanation .
You can’t contact them unless you want to buy or advertise with them .
Any company that cared about it’s users would have a large staff to answer the complaints and solve the problems .
Yet Facebook hides their heads between their legs and lets their users down .
They don’t care what the problem is or how serious it may be .
If they don’t receive a complaint , it never happened .
So they have No Staff to answer the complaints .
After all , we the people made Facebook Billions .
Why should they care about us ??????? As the creator said , we are just F_cKs .
Maybe a site will come along that will use the people right and then all the advertisers will go to that site and Facebook will be just a thing of the past .
Bigger company’s have folded from stupidity .
Is a complaint Staff really too much for Facebook to hire???
It really needs a complaint email page .
One that works and where the complaints will be answered within 72 hours .
Come on , Facebook creator was smart creating Facebook but it’s pretty stupid not to have Staff to help the users !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
