Facebook API Wins API of the Year

If you’ve never heard of Programmable Web then I suggest you take a look. Its a huge directory of all the major APIs on the web open for development. They’ve decided to award the Best API of the Year to the Facebook site. It won based on its openness, audience, money-making potential, viral features, modularity and metrics.

This got me thinking of ideas to put into a new Facebook app but before I jump in at the deep end I’m going to start small with a few quizzes that can plu gin to my existing sites then build from there.

Interesting side note for Ruby/Rails developers: There is an API interface for you to with rFacebook.

Failing that you could just get someone else to do it for you by getting one of the many Facebook Developers to do it for you.
