Facebook responded to Plaxo by banning people (mostly reporters trying out the new system) from Facebook entirely.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest surprise of this announcement is clearly the unexpected (and sudden) willingness of Facebook to progressively become more open.<\/p>\n<p>Will this change anything in the near future? Who knows, but it can only be a good thing if the major companies are (at least) appearing to work together on more open, flexible standards.<\/p>\n<p>This move will surely help to make several more major players think about becoming open.<\/p>\n<p>The open web is the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since Facebook began to dominate headlines, people have been criticising their &#8220;closed wall&#8221; approach to the web by not&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1586],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gosquared-updates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.6 (Yoast SEO v19.0) -
