Yair Landau is the former president of Sony Pictures Digital and the director of a new animated short opening today called "Live Music." We asked Landau to share the story behind Live Music's creation as the first production from Mass Animation, a worldwide crowdsourcing of animation on Facebook done in partnership with Intel, Dell, Autodesk and Reel FX Entertainment. When moviegoers sit down in select theaters tonight to see the opening of the new animated feature "Planet 51," they first will be greeted with a 5-minute, computer-animated short that resulted from the collaboration on Facebook…

New Privacy Policy Adopted
17 Nov 2009 | 5:21 pmOn Nov. 5, we wrapped up a week-long notice and comment period for a proposed revision to our privacy policy. This was a continuation of our ongoing effort to run Facebook in an open and transparent way. The goals of the revised policy were to make it more accessible and easier to understand. We've spent the last week reviewing each and every one of your comments. While a lot of people participated, the total number of people commenting did not reach the threshold of 7,000 that makes a vote necessary according to our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. Because of this — and the fact… -

How to Bullyproof Yourself on Facebook
16 Nov 2009 | 11:40 amIn October, we called attention to National Crime Prevention Month in the United States to raise awareness about cyberbullying. This week is National Anti-Bullying Week in the United Kingdom, and we've teamed up with media outlets BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, and other sites like Bebo, Habbo, MSN, MySpace and YouTube to address this important issue again. While only a small fraction of people will ever experience abusive behavior on Facebook, we're committed to promoting an environment where everyone can connect and share comfortably. For more information on how to handle bullies, check out the… -
Parents Have Rules to Follow Online, Too
12 Nov 2009 | 2:30 pmLiz Perle is the Editor-in-Chief of Common Sense Media, a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to improving the media and entertainment lives of kids and families. The organization believes that parents should have a choice and a voice about the media their kids consume. We've asked Liz to share some common sense tips for parents as they navigate technology and the web with their kids. Where do kids learn about good online behavior? From each other, perhaps. Maybe from a teacher. But parents have a big role to play in making sure their kids use the incredible technologies at their…

We're releasing some updates to stream story formatting, FQL, and finding fans this week. These changes are going live with the weekly code push, which takes place Tuesday evening, Pacific Time. Switching from the video Attachment Type We're removing all reference to the video attachment type in stream stories.

While we'll continue to publish stories that use the video type, we strongly encourage you to start using the flash attachment type instead. Finding Fans without a… -
Evolving OAuth via the Open Web Foundation
Over the past few years, we've worked hard to open source large pieces of our infrastructure such as Thrift, Scribe, and Hive, as we continue to take steps to support the open community and build a scalable, secure, and sustainable identity platform. Along with the code itself, what makes it possible for you to freely use these technologies is a set of well known open source software licenses such as Apache, BSD, and GPL. When it comes to open standards, this same sort of legal structure does not yet exist. About a year ago, we supported the creation of the Open Web Foundation in an effort to… -

Continued Action Against Deceptive Ads
As part of an ongoing effort we've had underway to address the quality of third-party ads running inside applications, we wanted to offer some clarifications, reminders, and information on our actions. First, deceptive ads are a widespread issue on the Web and one we fight aggressively. This battle is not new and it’s far from over. We faced stimulus scam ads on our own system earlier this year and pushed them off the site with rigorous enforcement. We did the same months later when deceptive ads from third-party ad networks appeared in applications. We’re doing that again now as we see… -
Creating a Slimmer JavaScript SDK Together
Many of you currently use the Facebook JavaScript client library to integrate social features into your website or application. This library helps you access a user's identity (like name, profile photo), connections (friends, pages), and social activity (live feed, communication channels) to add value to your service. Today, we are launching a new alpha version of the JavaScript library that is at least 3 times faster, 10 times more lightweight, and easier to use. It's a work in progress and we would like to hear your feedback and collaborate on its development. In addition, we're open…

This Week’s Up-and-Coming List Has Some Solid New Gaming Apps
20 Nov 2009 | 6:18 pmWhile a number of games have graduated from our up-and-comers list to become apps with more than 1 million users, there are quite a few more to take their places. At the top is Snowball Fight, a simple snowball-throwing app that encourages people to “throw snowballs” at each other to move up the rankings of snowball-throwers. It gained a big 637,000 to reach 825,000 this week — although this is maybe not so surprising given that the interface rigidly funnels users into “throwing snowballs.” Tis’ the season, apparently, as there’s another app called… -
How Businesses and Brands are Stuffing Their Facebook Pages for Thanksgiving

Brands With the economy still struggling, many national brands, retailers and online sellers have decided to start their holiday pushes this year even before Black Friday. A few pages have launched promotions already, but they are tied more tied into the holidays and not specifically Thanksgiving. Sears ran… -
ISG: Zynga Reaches 200M Monthly Active Users on Facebook, Spreads Beyond It
20 Nov 2009 | 10:07 amZynga has hit a new milestone on Facebook, and meanwhile, it has just launched a couple ways to increase its presence on the web: A stand-alone site for its hit game FarmVille and a new browser toolbar for Mafia Wars. The San Francisco company now has more than 200 million total monthly active users on the site, according to AppData. This measure is slightly deceptive, as we don’t have a way to tell how many of users play more than one Zynga game — some large minority of these users are being counted more than once, especially as Zynga cross-promotes its games. However, Zynga also… -
Facebook Growth Increases in Latin America, Argentina Now Largest Country in Region

This is up from the approximately 2 million it gained in September. Argentina and Mexico continue to lead the growth charts, gaining 637,000 and 772,000 new users, respectively. Argentina also passed Colombia to become the largest in the region, with more than 7 million monthly active users. However, Mexico has a larger… -

Google Chrome OS Is What Facebook Wanted To Be

Many assumed that the acquisition of Parakey was a step toward truly building the web operating system of the future. Blake Ross, the developer of Firefox and Parakey, has been working on Facebook Lite though. Joe Hewitt, the other Parakey developer, had been working on the Facebook iPhone application until recently. So where is Facebook OS? Mark Zuckerberg proclaimed Facebook as the “social… -

One month later, the company’s user base has grown by a third, rocketing it past 200 million users. Monthly active users are a relatively broad metric when analyzing a company though, as daily active users are a more effective metric for measuring a company’s ability to monetize. During the same period when Zynga’s monthly active users grew by 50 percent, daily active users grew approximately 27 percent from 47.8 million to…

Facebook Jumps the Walled Garden to Twitter
20 Aug 2009 | 6:34 pmFacebook has had Twitter envy for the past 6 months.It was only a matter of time before facebook got it right and allowed actions on their site to jump over the facebook wall. Facebook just announced that you will be able to publish from facebook pages to twitter. Smart move for a variety of reason; the best of which it simply leverages a more friction free ecosystem to drive users back to facebook. I just hope that Twitter does not crush under the weight of these new flurry of tweets that are certain to come flowing from facebook. This also makes Twittter even more valuable as a… -

I have my settings tweaked so that when I add a new friend this is not published on my Wall or friends’ News Feeds. One of the main reasons was, like my girlfriend, I didn’t want to clog up my friends’ feeds. But, also, what I found was that some… -
Lessons Learned From Temporary Twitter Account Suspension
5 Jul 2009 | 9:02 pmTwitter apparently got hit by a swarm of spammers earlier today (Sunday), which caused their bots to dump a slew of bona fide accounts, including mine. I was literally sitting at my computer tweeting from Twhirl when all-of-a-sudden, the login pop-up appeared and said my password wasn’t valid. I went to the web twitter.com/marismith and was horrified to see that Twitter had suspended my account. After two years on Twitter, organically building a fab following of over 43,000 peeps and in one nanosecond, Twitter can flip the off switch (give us the bird?!). Hm, something just not right…
