Facebook Future plans revealed

Social Networking Giant Facebook gives more ways to developers to become more productive in the future. Features and functionality will be enriched in the future as stated in the facebook developer blog when they released their new roadmap for the coming days.

For new and experienced developers it’s a great chance for them to create new ideas based from the  roadmap they released. Although it’s still far from implementation, I bet that newbies are getting interested in learning to make facebook applications and some facebook integration in their web projects. More and more websites are now getting connected to facebook and I believe that this trend will continue to rise.

Heres a detailed explanation of the new developer products and clear policies copied from facebook developer blog.

• Open Graph API. Any page on the Web can have many of the features of a Facebook Page – users can become a Fan of the page, it will show up on that user’s profile and in search results, and that page will be able to publish stories to the stream of its fans.
• Improved Application Insights Page and new Analytics API. We will provide improved tools with more robust data to better adjust and manage applications and Facebook Connect-enabled websites.
• New Facebook Connect Libraries. Our libraries will be smaller, clearer, and faster.
• New developer website, Platform Live Status, and public roadmap. Developers.facebook.com will include a central dashboard to view the health of various integration points, bugs and Platform uptime as well as detail about upcoming changes and improvements to Platform. You will also be able to subscribe to the Developer Blog and Status Feed via email.
• New principles, simplified policies, Verification standards for all. We have streamlined our policies and principles and will be proactively applying them widely across Platform. In addition, we’re retiring the formerly optional Application Verification brand, submission process, fees and badge; the program’s higher standards will be required and applications will be subject to review at any time.
