Facebook Shoots Down Google
I’m sad to say that all the excitement I had built up around Friday’s “Friend Connect” post is pretty much gone. I learned today that Facebook is refusing to let Google access their data for the future Friend Connect service.
“We’re disappointed that Facebook disabled their users’ ability to use Friend Connect with their Facebook friends,” a Google spokesman told Wired.com.
Facebook is citing privacy concerns, but from what I understand it’s simply that Facebook doesn’t want to build the privacy controls into their API. Therefore Google has no way of meeting the privacy “standards” that Facebook requires.
