Facebook Open Graph API Makes Every Website a Facebook Page
Posted by

Facebook recently made some big product roadmap announcements at the latest Facebook Developer Garage including the Open Graph API.
Unfortunately, we'll have to wait at least 3 quarters, but it's great to know that it's coming.
The Open Graph API essentially turns any website into a Facebook Page. According to Inside Facebook, "with the Open Graph API, any website can have access to all the communication channels that a Facebook Page does, while living outside of Facebook.com." "... users can become a "fan" of the site itself. Web masters and publishers can then publish content to users' News Feeds through the stream publishing APIs."
This is very exciting because it means that brands can leverage their existing investment in their web properties by easily hooking into the best parts of Facebook. It also fits very nicely with your Agility CMS managed website.
There were 4 other product roadmap announcements that are detailed by Inside Facebook:
