Facebooks Hidden Like Isnt Just Good For Mobile Developers, Its Good For Facebook
Last week'sannouncement from Facebookabout the new ability for app developers to integrate a hidden, built-in "like" button in their mobile applications seemed to fly under the radar.

It is, of course. App developers who can smartly leverage Facebook integration can achieve impressive growth, even if it's a bit manufactured at times. But more importantly, the move is great for Facebook. It has managed to introduce a toolkit that allows developers to weave Facebook's data collection capabilities deep into thefabric of the future Internet- that is, the world of mobile apps.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/9B1asiddFfg/
