So here's the real story behind App.net founder Dalton Caldwell's plans to build a new, open API framework for developers to build off of. According to him, Facebook pressured him into selling his company, rather than compete with the social network's newly released App Center. In an open letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted to his blog on Wednesday, Caldwell recounted his side of a meeting with Facebook's developer relations team, which occurred in mid-June. Prior to the meeting, App.net was working on a mobile app that would let users see which apps their friends were using, and make suggestions about new apps to download. It used Facebook Connect and Facebook Open Graph to identify interesting apps and to share them with social connections, and Caldwell hoped to get "executive-level support" for his upcoming product launch.
