We are living through the period of the most fundamental transformation of the web. This blog is my attempt to look what is coming next (and with) social web, social graph, and unified semantic schema.

JavaScript in Facebook applications

Facebook (finally) allowed Java Script in FB applications outside of IFRAME
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/FBJS
Among other things, I liked how elegantly they are creating namespaces separating different applications on the same page. Seems that it cold be a security hole here - it is possible to enumerate java functions on the page and "impersonate" user actions with another apps installed on the same page. Other than that - it's great that we can use JavaScript outside of the IFRAME sandbox.

For the Facebook, I am writing a custom app and thinking about (may be) some curriculum for a class on Facebook application development.
