Facebook Promise to Give Developers 90 days For Major API Changes
Facebook API has been largely criticised for frequently making breaking changes.
As such, they have introduced their 90-days policy.
To clarify, there are 4 points to take note of:
As such, they have introduced their 90-days policy.
We are committed to a 90-day breaking change policy. This means Platform changes that would require a code change from developers (security and privacy changes excluded) will be announced at least 90 days before the change goes into effect.
To clarify, there are 4 points to take note of:
- Major change/removal of functionality: You have 90 days to comply
- Backwards compatible change: Your code should be versatile to new parameters in request/response
- Product Change: You will be inform ed.
- Privacy/Security Changes: Fix like these will be immediate, even if it is breaking change

Face.com, faced-off!
Face.com provides a face recognition API.
It's biggest customer is Facebook. And recently, Facebook acquired the company, and killed off it's API!
It's a rather sad consequences from a good acquisition. It's unhealthy too, since that makes developer think:
Is this API going to last forever, and never get dropped no matter what?
Don't let open API be a trap.

Twilio Connect, is similar to Facebook Connect
Twilio has been leading the communication space. Their value proposition has always been making it dead easy for developers to build Voice & SMS apps.
Today, they are making it even easier by introducing Twilio Connect. Just like Facebook Connect (also an OAuth login), you can use Twilio Connect to log in a Twilio account, and make phone calls and send SMS via that account. Of course, you charge to that account.
Developers can now build their apps, and let users pay via their own Twilio account. This solve a billing problem to developers.
This sounds like a great feature. However, this also means developers would not be able to markup for the voice minutes and SMS sent from the app. Moreover, Twilio is not doing any revenue share with developers using Twilio Connect.
This is unlike BlueVia Connect, which does revenue sharing.
