The new Facebook iPhone application has […]
This afternoon I got to thinking about various opportunities for businesses to leverage Facebook and realized that Facebook is not taking advantage of one of their greatest opportunities: search.

As many users are aware, Facebook has been fighting mounting security threats in recent weeks. Developers and analysts alike want to know more about what’s happening and what Facebook is doing to contain the threats, so here’s the story:
The Problems
1. A variant of the Koobface worm, originally detected by Kapersky Lab a few weeks ago, […]
Many developers have been (understandably) speculating that the Facebook redesign will go live to all users this Wednesday, 27 August 2008, because of a statement in the Facebook Developer Wiki page on User Logins in the new design that reads,

Over the weekend we wrote about a secret among application developers which is that at least one developer is currently generating over $1 million a month.

And while the change is certainly significant from an end-user’s point of view, it is even moreso from a developer’s perspective. The News Feed system has been overhauled, with new publishing methods and story sizes for developers to utilize […]
