Facebook Announces Tight Integration of 60 Apps to Timeline, More on the Way

In a press event in San Francisco, Facebook Director of Platform Products Carl Sjogreen announced further extension of the Open Graph, which will now allow developers to build a variety of apps that let users add anything they want directly to their timelines.

Sjogreen announced that more than 60 apps are immediately going live, including such favorites as Pinterest, eBay, Foodspotting, Airbnb and Foursquare. He said that when people add an app to their Facebook timelines, they can control whether activities they do on that app appear on their timelines. They can also determine who gets to see these updates.
