Can Facebook's Stream API Revive The Widget Economy?

Earlier this week Facebook officially opened the stream API and with it came many new opportunities for developers. The most significant opportunity is the one provided to widget developers. Facebook let’s developers post audio, video, and best of all: flash application directly within the feed. Right now it appears that there are few restrictions although the feed API is still not fully implementable.

Great New Opportunities

Rather than building standalone applications on Facebook, from a user experience perspective, it makes much more sense to extend large feature sets directly to the feed.
