Facebook Hires HTML5 App Store Builder
Over the past few months, my colleague MG Siegler has been piecing together the puzzle around Facebook's Project Spartan, which is the social network's secret plan to bring applications to the mobile web via HTML5. Today, we've learned that Facebook has made a key hire in the HTML5 space.
