60+ new Facebook apps hitting your Timeline

Open Graph bears some fruit

60+ new Facebook apps hitting your Timeline

19 January 2012 10:29 GMT / By Paul Lamkin

The Facebook Open Graph platform is officially open for business, with more than 60 new Timeline-friendly apps being announced by the social network.

Much like the Spotify interactions that we've already seen hitting Zuckerberg's money spinner, the apps will allow you to let your friends know exactly what you're doing and when you're doing it.

The Open Graph platform was announced at last year’s f8 conference and is a tool for letting third party developers share actions in your Timeline, bringing in additional content direct from the web, and web-powered services.

"You can now enhance your Timeline with apps that help you tell your story, whether you love to cook, eat, travel, run, or review movies," said Facebook's Carl Sjogreen.
