- Integration: profile box, mini feed, application canvas (whole pages on FB), requests to friends, news feed publishing, user messaging
- Distribution: Users can customize by add/remove applications (including FB builtin apps), exposure in profiles, publish to news feed - can be seen by friends (add app, one-line stories, full stories) - these are SUGGESTIONS - FB prioritizes news, notifications (alert on home page, messages, emails), requests (invitiations to friends(!)), friend selector in javascript in FML).
- Business Opportunity: Canvas pages can serve ads (100% own revenue - they're YOUR pages), sell products (in future FB may revenue share with application partners!).Facebook API:
- User grants access to profile, friends profiles, other application information,
- Facebook Markup Language (FML = HTML+) for profile - dynamic user names, private sections, image caching, flash (click to play)
- Canvas pages served from the developer's own web sites - has knowledge of the user, unlimited number of pages per application
