Facebook Launches Cross-Application API

Want to grant other applications access to make other API calls from your own apps? Now you can! Last night, Vishu Gupta announced the Facebook Permissions API. The power of the permissions API is that any application can grant another application access to call specific API methods on its behalf. While the feature is currently limited to 3 methods (admin.getAppProperties, admin.getAllocation and admin.getDailyMetrics), new methods will be added soon.

O.k. enough of the geek speak. What does this mean in general terms? It means that applications can potentially ease their workload and provide it to other applications.
