Is access to the Personal Information by Facebook Application Developers a Serious Concern?

It is a duty of any Facebook Application developers to perform within the framework of company’s policy. They could retain the personal user information within the specified period extending not more than one full day.

Developers have been scratching their heads against this policy because if an app is capable to recollect personal data of the user forever, it could start instantly thus saving the time it would generally have taken to ping the same towards the server. Now they no longer had to get irritated on this regard, as the time restrictions have been removed. This news was announced during F8 conference but now there is a need to see if this new change is good for the developers or their biggest drawback?

Facebook applications constantly have an access to your user profile, and are aware of all your personal information like to which place are you from, groups you have signed for and even about your interests mentioned on Facebook. However, now the decision of Facebook to permit Facebook developers to design permanent retention of personal information into their apps will only have an impact on the length of the period information can be stored without any other changes however.

Most of the app makers have been ignoring Facebook’s policy pertaining to the time period and only adopting what appeals them the best and Facebook also has never checked. This has been increasing the vulnerability of the users towards the theft of the personal information.

Facebook has half a billion users and many of the apps for instance have around 100 million of them, and any top developer should have capacity to deal with the security issue, but then what about the developer’s concern. The answer to this perplex situation is the time restriction for the developers to hold personal information and that too under certain conditions.

Facebook Developers can have access to subscription list to give app users most personalized experience

Facebook has allowed its developers to seek permission for having lists of subscribers and who they subscribe through Graph API. With read permission for subscriptions, Facebook developers can easily have more personalized experience for their users as they have accessibility to track subscriptions over time.
As it is not possible for Facebook to provide analytics for the users, people can very well move to apps to trace their growth rate. Facebook does not make any improvements too for its search function on its developers’ site. These search results now also include technical Q&A and bugs from Stack Overflow. It also entails the developers to filter results by their type.

Further permission is also required for managing ‘notifications to read’ or ‘manage users’ notifications’. The announcement of this change was made in July 2011 and migration has been completed as per the announcement by Facebook. Also there is every possibility that the social network will depreciate the old page insights. It is also being announced that the old insights will be totally removed by 15th Feb.
To have an access to the information for subscriber’s information, app should be equipped with the users _subscriptions and friends subscriptions for the friends info. To read more details about the subscribers list, it is highly recommended to go through the documentation for ‘Subscribed To’ and ‘Subscribers’ for more details.

To go through the user’s subscribers like, issue an HTTP GET request for subscribers connection like

https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/subscribers?access_token=...

In the same way for having access for subscribers list, there will be an HTTP GET request for subscribing for connectivity, which will be

https://graph.facebook.com/USER_ID/subscribedto?access_token=....

To get updated on any changes on Facebook, it is highly recommended to visit Facebook developers.

This also makes overhead cost less as lesser CPU means less servers.  Facebook says it is a code transformer which could transform PHP code to C++ and then use g ++ to complete this transformation.  It also improves performance for source code transformation as HipHop sacrifices few rare seen features.  It also has code transformer, reapplication of PHP’s runtime system, and many rewritten extensions which are most popularly used on PHP.

Besides, what make HipHop best are the programming languages like Python, Pearl and Ruby.

Removing App Profile Pages: Facebook Announced

Now messages are being flashed that Facebook application profile pages will be removed, what we all should do next?
As page managers are looking at the banner picture on their profile pages that states “Removing App Profile Pages” notification, they get puzzled, what is the alternative solution for them. Naturally by having their apps more search friendly. And it is up to Facebook apps development companies too to create the apps easily approachable and making users to search the same through their Facebook search feature.
However while searching for certain specific terms, it often takes two to three result pages till the most used apps are appeared during the results. The hope that improvement of the search feature of particular app will be made or not, that time will only tell, but meanwhile we can sure hope for the best.
This move as said by Facebook in one of their Developers Blog is on the account of inconsistencies developed in its app profile and regular pages including difference in insights, interfaces and distribution channels. In case you are an admin of your Facebook page, you will be given permission to transfer ‘likes’ on this page. The transfer of ‘likes’ will ultimately increase your abilities to publish update from your Facebook page as you have been doing it currently.
Facebook further states that only ‘Likes’ will be transferred and not the content of the pages so if you are migrating then it is highly recommended that you download all the posts, photos, insights or any other materials whatsoever. The migration of likes can take upto seven days and it will also take almost seven hours before you can see any happening on your page. However in case you have vanity URL linked with your app profile page, Facebook ensures that Vanity URL will be transferred to the Facebook page.
So start migration your Facebook apps profile pages before being removed.
