Facebook (you all know I’m a Facebook sucker, which I find brilliant – for a huge number of reasons) goes OPENSOURCE! Third parties will be free to change the Facebook Platform components for their own use and deploy them on their own sites. I’ve always admired Sun Microsystems for their open source philosophy, and I’m glad others back it up, too.

Techcrunch (where I got the news from) says “this is a nearly inevitable response to Open Social, which is backed by Google, MySpace and Yahoo.” Read all about it here!
