"The App Center is designed to grow mobile apps that use Facebook, whether users are on iOS, Android or the mobile Web, Brady said. “From the mobile App Center, users can browse apps that are compatible with their device, and if a mobile app requires installation, they will be sent to download the app from the App Store or Google Play.”"

"Nitobi, creators of the HTML5-based mobile app framework PhoneGap, have today launched the PhoneGap Facebook Connect plugin. The addition of the plugin means that developers building apps using Web technologies like HTML and JavaScript can now simplify the log in process for their apps by allowing users to login with their Facebook credentials."

"Google Plus made such decisions easier since it let users decide who would receive a given post or photo right when they created and then posted it. Facebook seems to have taken notice of this subtle but significant difference. The world's largest social network on Tuesday announced changes to its privacy settings that allow users to choose who will see a photo or status update right when they post it -- much like was already the case on Google Plus."

"As a Google+ newbie, you might be wondering how to get all of your photos from your previous obsession (Facebook) to the latest spectacle, Google+. Facebook went on the defensive recently when users tried to export their friend lists to Google+ for easy adding. Facebook blocked the service, leaving us users to fend for ourselves. Well, listen, Facebook: you can take my friends, but you can't take my photos."

"As we understand it, Project Spartan is the codename for a new platform Facebook is on verge of launching. It’s entirely HTML5-based and the aim is to reach some 100 million users in a key place: mobile. More specifically, the initial target is both surprising and awesome: mobile Safari. Yes, Facebook is about to launch a mobile platform aimed squarely at working on the iPhone (and iPad). But it won’t be distributed through the App Store as a native application, it will be entirely HTML5-based and work in Safari. Why? Because it’s the one area of the device that Facebook will be able to control (or mostly control)."

"A judge yesterday threw out most of the claims made in a lawsuit against Facebook, in which two California individuals, David Gould and Mike Robertson, accused the social networking giant of sharing their names and other private information with some advertisers in direct violation of its own privacy policy. That said, the judge also ruled the lawsuit will not be dismissed in its entirety either, as Facebook had pleaded."

"As revealed by The Daily Beast's Dan Lyons (the artist formerly known as Fake Steve Jobs), Facebook engaged a high-powered PR firm, Burson Marsteller ("BM" for short -- insert juvenile joke here), to spread gross distortions about Google and its Social Circles service. Apparently, Social Circles -- which identifies other online networks where your Gmail contacts tend to congregate -- violates one's personal privacy. Note: This is coming from Facebook, which itself values personal privacy the way a shark values a school of minnows."

"That tweak is a dig at Facebook, which isn’t reciprocal to Google. In a statement to TechCrunch, Google said that Facebook is a data dead end. So Google changed its rules. Google won’t allow Web sites to automatically import contact data unless the other site allows a similar export. The key word is “automatically.” You can still download contact data to a file that in theory could be added to Facebook."

"Regardless of whether Diaspora ends up replacing Facebook, we do need a better, safer alternative to Facebook. If Diaspora doesn't work out, there are other social networks working on similar goals. With thieves using Facebook to plan robberies, having the ability to easily control who gets access to your private information is more important than ever. Here's hoping Diaspora is up to the challenge."

"While Facebook keeps making a number of stumbles regarding privacy, a group of developers, has been feverishly working on a project called Diaspora – the privacy aware, personally controlled, do-it-all distributed open source social network. Their first developer version has been released yesterday and is available on GitHub for download."

"Meanwhile, the Diaspora kids have raised nearly $200K (after shooting for $10K) and Appleseed is on Indie-GoGo aiming for $10K - hey, maybe the Diaspora group could shoot a little cash over to Appleseed in the spirit of open source cooperation and all. They certainly have raised far more than they'd aimed to."

"Foremski's Take: Every time Facebook makes a change in its privacy provisions, you have to go through it all again. It's a never ending battle, with Facebook eventually winning because its users will get fed up or forget that another privacy change has happened and that they need to review their privacy settings."

"ON its Web site, Facebook says it’s “giving people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.”

But the online world outside of Facebook is already a very open and connected place, thank you very much."

"Facebook makes it pretty easy to deactivate your account which will temporarily hide your information. However, if you want to permanently remove your information, the "permanent delete" option is much harder to find. This article will cover two easy ways to erase your Facebook account so you can Quit Facebook forever."

"Why can't privacy and connectedness go hand-in-hand? That's the question being raised by those behind the new Diaspora project, an ambitious undertaking to build an "anti-Facebook" - that is, a private, open source social network that puts you back in control of your personal data."

"Facebook has gone rogue, drunk on founder Mark Zuckerberg’s dreams of world domination. It’s time the rest of the web ecosystem recognizes this and works to replace it with something open and distributed."

"Without doubt, one of the most extraordinary developments in recent years has been the rise of Facebook - not just as the most popular social network, but increasingly as a force to reckoned with in the world of computing, perhaps soon on the scale of Microsoft and Google. This makes its relationship to free software something of more than passing interest. "
