Leading Social Utility Extends Reach to Desktop
Overview Since its debut in 2004, Facebook has grown to include more than 20 million members who use the social utility to share information among friends in their real-world social networks. In order to extend and enhance its product, Facebook provides third-party developers an open platform so they can tie their applications into Facebook functions. To showcase this development platform, Facebook worked with Microsoft and Avenue A Razorfish to create a unique gadget based on the Windows Vista operating system. The gadget extends Facebook's leading online photo-sharing application to the desktop and offers other innovative functions that foster closer social relationships. Facebook anticipates the new gadget will make photo uploads even easier for Windows Vista users and therefore increase photo-sharing among friends on the site.
