Bebo is the first social media network to implement Facebook Platform standards
The Bebo Open Application Platform will be the first in the industry to implement the standards defined by the Facebook Platform, an open development system that enables companies and engineers to extend Facebook’s more than 7,000 applications to other social websites.
“By opening up our API and establishing an open developer-friendly platform, we enable developers big and small to create entertaining, engaging applications for our global community – providing another great way for Beboers to communicate, relate and express themselves online,” said Michael Birch, CEO and co-founder, Bebo.
“With Bebo’s implementation of Facebook’s open standards, developers can expand their reach, which will lead to even more application development, and ultimately benefit both Bebo users and Facebook users,” said Adam D’Angelo, chief technology officer, Facebook.
This is a huge deal for brands, marketers and application developers. Now facebook applications will have the ability to work on the Bebo Social Networking Website. Bebo has over 32 million users and is a huge social networking site.
