The plugin for WordPress launched by Facebook in June has been downloaded more than 180,000 times, and Engineer, Developer Relations Matt Kelly, who worked on the project, shared his experience in a note on the Facebook Engineering page.
Here are some of the highlights from Kelly’s note:
We chose to build an integration with WordPress because it has a massive footprint on the Web (powering 16.6 percent of all websites), it has a very active community, and it could serve as a good case study for showing interesting ways sites could integrate with Facebook to become more social.
In order to get a fresh view of what it was like to build on Facebook, I built the plugin based on what was publicly available for developers.
From the outset, I knew that it was important to work closely with the WordPress community.
