That's already three more applications than I could name from Facebook :-) That wasn't a rhetorical question, but I've really no idea what would make Facebook interesting for a programmer.

Google on the other hand is teasing me regularly with brandnew interesting API's (for which I never find the time to really check em out).

A lot of programmers seem to think the Facebook API is pretty interesting... and they've found the time to check it out, too.

Thanks, that's the stuff I was searching for. Facebook ain't that common here in germany and I'm no webdeveloper, so I didn't know until now about this API. I only had found the Facebook website which completely failed to impress me and if the name wouldn't drop so often I would probably not even have taken a second look.

Well, time for new API's... maybe next year. If facebook is still the hype in 2008 ;-)

It has some interesting possibilities, but as a hypothetical Google or Facebook developer, I'd much rather be hacking on something like Android than the Facebook API.
