Does this block apps like Spotify from displaying songs you are listening too? I'm curious as to how strict they will be about this.

- loceng 14y agoLikely not if they're able to make profit from it...
- brackin 14y agoThat's an interesting one, I'd guess Spotify would be whitelisted if not as they started using the open graph before the public launch. Most apps hook you in to click from seeing a post on someone else's timeline and auto posts what you're looking at to yours like a virus. Spotify posts because you've decided to share what you're listening to and it's disable-able. It's slightly less passive. Social Cam sold at a good time, Viddy on the other hand are going to have to try and convince investors they're worth their $400m valuation.
- sp332 14y agoThat seems to be specifically allowed. Apps that help people automatically share stories about content as they consume it, such as the music you are listening to, can be good experiences when apps create clear expectations for the user of what is being shared and when.
- bluetidepro 14y agoOh, okay! I must have missed that part. Thanks! :)
- citizens 14y agohow convenient ;)
- astral303 14y agoOnly built-in action types [1] are allowed, if you keep reading. This includes: "Listen - Song". Specifically: The following Built-in Action-Object pairs are available: Like - Any Object Type Follow - Profile Listen - Song Read - Article Watch - Video, Movie, TV Show, or TV Episode IMO a great change for user experience. 1 - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/ https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/built...
- derwiki 14y agoThose are 'custom opengraph' stories and not wallposting on a user's behalf -- this announcement is unrelated.
