Project Spartan; Facebook’s Secret Project for Mobile Platform

TechCrunch has revealed that Facebook is carrying out a hidden project named Project Spartan, an HTML5 browser-based cloud platform to target millions of mobile users. To be more specific, initially for iPhone running HTML5 enabled Safari, and later for android. The platform obviously will have many powerful apps.

The motivation behind this for Facebook is to get control of their apps running on iPhone by directly challenging Apple’s App Store and sidestepping their mobile app distribution mechanism.

Currently, If you want to deploy a game or an App for iPhone; you need to develop it in Xcode using C, C++ or Objective-C and push it to Apple Store. Apple provides APIs for developers. You have to purchase a developer account costing $99 per year and your app/game is required to be in compliance with Apple's guidelines. It also involves a long approval process in case of updates/fixes to existing Apps/games further requiring the end users to download that update.

Instead of this process, an alternate is to build the app/game using HTML5. Although you may have limited functionality and features of the target device in comparison to the former process, however this gives great power and control to the developer without depending on Apple and avoiding the cost involved for apple store account.

It’s said to be a team of 80 developers according to TechCrunch, working with Facebook in collaboration of Zynga and Huffington Post on this platform which is expected to launch in next few weeks.(Unsurprisingly, Facebook haven’t commented on this stuff).

Facebook allows Bing to let your friends help you find what they "like"

Bing's collaboration with Facebook opens up all its "LIKES" data to bing to include in its search.

After all, friends suggestions and their expertise do matter :)
Bing will track recommendations from your peers on Facebook and will return granular, more relevant and specific search results to your interests.
Your search would be more like taking your friends along with and telling them about the laptop you are planning to buy; and they will guide you through what they "like".

This could be a major breakthrough in internet search. Further, it might give substantial edge to bing over its search rival Google, which might be working to exploit social search using data from orkut, but it has less user base than Facebook does.
