For the most part, it’s worked so far. Developers will now be able to extend their Facebook applications to their own websites by using the formerly-closed JavaScript client library. Since it does not require any server side code on the developer’s server, they can now create a Facebook application that can be hosted on any Web site that serves static HTML. The result: putting a Facebook app on a website is now extremely simple.

- Users could now go about the Web, doing your own thing, but still be connected to their Facebook profiles.
- This is a huge step in Facebook extending their platform beyond the Facebook.com domain and letting people leverage the power of the ’social graph’.
