Facebook Is Done Giving Its Precious Social Graph To Competitors

Facebook Is Done Giving Its Precious Social Graph To Competitors | TechCrunch: "No one wants to build an app that relies on Facebook data if it could disappear. Facebook reaffirmed this fear this morning when it enforced its ban on exporting data for use in social networks. Russian search engine Yandex’s new social search mobile app Wonder got all of its API calls blocked just three hours after launch. That’s a lot of programming and product work down the drain.
"Facebook is playing with fire. It could use policy enforcement to cook competitors and shine a light on its dominance of social networking. But if this enforcement scares off developers whose apps might otherwise provide content that could be shown next to ads in the news feed and piped into Graph Search, Facebook could get burned badly." 'via Blog this'
