  WSJ: “Facebook Inc. is expected to announce significant plans to open up core parts of its sites – namely the information that appears in the stream of updates on users’ homepages and profiles – to third-party developers so that they can build new services on top of it, people familiar with the matter say.”

  TC: “If Facebook really is opening most of its data, it would seem to me it’s a smart move to stop some of the momentum that smaller rivals, like Twitter, are getting. After all, Facebook still has its big stick – over 200 million users and more importantly, their data. Now it may be able to fully swing it.”

  Mashable: “We’ll likely see a bunch of new applications to post media to Facebook (think: browser plugins and desktop applications) and explore content from friends, but building an open ecosystem will not change the closed culture of Facebook and our willingness to share with only a small circle of personal friends there. Twitter, then, remains the most open…culturally, at least.“
