Facebook Platform Roadmap Update: App Tabs on User Profiles, Rest API to be Deprecated Soon

As part of the updates to its Platform product roadmap that Facebook posted today, the company says it is deprecating a few things.

The first is application tabs on user profiles. Originally introduced around the period of time in which Facebook was initially booting profile boxes off the profile page, Facebook says today that it will be removing app tabs in Q4 2010 due to “low usage rates.” After the removal of app tabs from the profile, and the upcoming removal of the boxes tab, only tabs devoted to Facebook’s in-house applications like Photos, Videos, Places, and Notes will remain.
