Initial Facebook Places APIs Going Live for Platform Developers Thursday Afternoon

At Facebook’s Places launch earlier tonight, Facebook said that read and search APIs would be going live soon for all developers, while write APIs would indefinitely remain in “private beta” with a limited set of partners for now. Now, Facebook’s Graph API documentation says that the read and search APIs will be available starting “on or after” tomorrow, Thursday afternoon, at 2:00pm US PT.

Given that Facebook has only worked with a few launch partners in testing Places so far, there’s a significant amount of greenfield before the developer community to take advantage of the new Places APIs.
