Is Facebook Starting to Grow Up?

In my last post I discussed how LinkedIn’s closed version of their API may end up providing them a competitive advantage over Facebook. That’s not the only advantage they have. Currently there is no way to show that you have a professional connection with someone. It looks like that is about to change as Mike Arrington points out.

A small change to the users.getInfo API call shows that “Networking” is one of the options for the meeting_for field.
