Mark Zuckerberg announced aggressive plans at the f8 conference on Thursday to integrate Facebook into every aspect of the Web. Plans include opening up Facebook’s Social Graph and allow embedding social experiences.
Until recently, sites can store information about Facebook users for 24 hours. Zuckerberg said that opening up the Social Graph removes the time restriction, allowing sites to customize their features for FB users.
The Facebook “like” feature will also be released as a plug in. Users who come across a website can click on the “like” button and share the information with their Facebook friends instantly.
Zuckerberg said at the conference that he expects to serve 1 billion “like” buttons within the first 24 hours after the plug-ins launch.
