What bizzaro world have we woken up in where Facebook is leading the charge for server openness? "At Google we believe that open systems win. They lead to more innovation, value, and freedom of choice for consumers, and a vibrant, profitable, and competitive ecosystem for businesses... We need to lay out our definition of open in clear terms that we can all understand and support... There are two components to our definition of open: open technology and open information. Open technology includes open source, meaning we release and actively support code that helps grow the Internet, and open standards, meaning we adhere to accepted standards and, if none exist, work to create standards that improve the entire Internet (and not just benefit Google). Open information means that when we have information about users we use it to provide something that is valuable to them, we are transparent about what information we have about them, and we give them ultimate control over their information." http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/meaning-of-open.html#!/2009/12/meaning-of-open.html http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/meaning-of-open.html#...
