(InfoWorld) - Facebook became the latest entrant into the online video battle Thursday, opening its Facebook f8 platform to outside developers and partners in an effort to gain ground on social networking rivals. The move allows third parties to develop functions for Facebook, including video, advertising, and retail capabilities. Part of the system will use the company's own markup language, creatively titled Facebook Markup. Since News Corp. bought rival MySpace in 2005, Facebook has struggled to keep pace. Last year, Facebook declined a $1 billion acquisition offer from Yahoo, instead choosing to go it alone in hopes of a better offer or greater solo success. Thursday's announcement could push Facebook more towards becoming a commercial provider of social networking tools, rather than attempting to take on MySpace as a consumer play. Allowing outside parties to begin selling advertising on Facebook could also help the company to monetize its audience, estimated by comScore NetworksÂ at just over 23 million visitors per month. Self-starting advertisers and retailers could build their own applications or retail functions, saving Facebook the effort while still providing revenue.

Lukas Smith is sending a wakeup call to the internet providers and web hosters out there - get involved in the PHP community!   We do not seem to have any ISP's active inside the PHP community. This is kind of odd, considering that PHP seems to be driving the business of hosters quite a bit. Why have none of them decided that PHP is important enough for their business that its worthwhile to ensure that their interests are taken into account?   He makes the suggestion of passing along the suggestion to bosses/co-workers/anyone who'll listen about getting involved. Suggested places to start would be as a part of the testers group or even contributing to the migration guide.
