Facebook Makes Major Announcements at F8 [LIVE]

Media_httpmashablecom_dpxea
F8 Developer Conference in San Francisco, Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is making major announcements to an audience of developers and press. Here are my live notes: Mark Zuckerberg’s Keynote - It took only 15 months for 100 million users to use Facebook Connect. - Asking for user permission via Facebook Connect will now be a one-step permission process, rather than requiring multiple permissions. - The developer policy of not storing user data for more than 24 hours is now gone. This will give developers more time to use user data via Facebook Connect. - Credits are still in beta — there were no major announcements. - There isn’t an easy way to connect different social graphs — for example, your Facebook social graph and your Yelp social graph. There’s an issue in linking your favorite restaurants to your friends. - Zuckerberg: “We’re going to connect all of these graphs together to create the Open Graph.” via mashable.com
