Facebook Open Sourcing the Platform?

Mike Arrington is reporting that Facebook will soon announce that they are open sourcing the Facebook platform. This will enable other social network sites to easily integrate platform features. It will also help the large social network sites to make tools which help to convert Facebook applications to be compatible with other platform standards such as OpenSocial.

Mike Arrington suggest that this is a response to OpenSocial. He also suggests that Facebook is being “out maneuvered by competitors” more recently.
