Facebook code on Bebo
Bebo announced that it'd support Facebook style apps as well as OpenSocial late last year. They've launched properly now.
The documentation has been up for a while already and there aren't any real surprises, though there's a couple of new Bebo specific tags (which seems like a bad idea to me; I mean, the whole point is code compatibility between multiple systems).
One major omission is Javascript support; there's no equivalent to FBJS (Facebook's sandboxed Javascript version). This means that a lot of the bigger apps will hold off moving over, I'd have thought - though it's not a problem for simpler quizzes and Flash based stuff like Scrabulous.
There are a couple of OpenSocial containers now but I haven't heard of any Facebook server components being made available (just a 'top level overview' document on their wiki). We've just finished building an API for Nature Network (private, for now), I wonder how much work it'd be to start supporting apps?
