Facebook Responds to Myspace With Facebook Connect

Just over 24 hours after Myspace’s announcement regarding their Data Availability initiative, Facebook has responded with Facebook connect. According to Dave Morin, “Facebook Connect is the next iteration of Facebook Platform that allows users to “connect” their Facebook identity, friends and privacy to any site. This will now enable third party websites to implement and offer even more features of Facebook Platform off of Facebook — similar to features available to third party applications today on Facebook.”

This is a massive announcement and considering the timing I would imagine that Myspace is actually the one that is behind Facebook with the technology.
