First Came Facebook Disconnect; Now, Open Graph Redirect, A Plug-In To Read FB Open Graph Links Without The Apps

FB Open Graph Redirect pluginA new Chrome plug-in that lets users bypass the installation of Facebook apps, but still consume the content your friends are sharing via those Facebook-enabled apps, has been picking up users at a solid clip since going live only a week ago. Facebook Open Graph Redirect, which works with Facebook apps for siteslike SocialCam, Yahoo, the Washington Post and others,now has 3,200 users, and another developer has now used the same code to create a Firefox plug-in as well.The growth of Open Graph Redirect is another example of how services that help you bypass some of the creeping effects of socia media are hitting a chord with consumers: Brian Kennish, the ex-Googler developed Facebook Disconnect, a Chrome extension that disables traffic from third-party sites to Facebook servers but still allows you to access Facebook itself, tells me itnow has over 700,000 weekly users, impressive growth considering that back in March it had 200,000 installs.
