Facebook opens the door (a crack)

One thing that annoys me about using facebook is that I have to go into facebook to use it.  I hate the fact that you get emailed when someone sends you a message, and the message isn’t shown in the email.  I hate that the site makes you login to see what peeps are doing and who’s interacting with whom.

So I was surprised and happy to see that facebook had started to use RSS feeds to allow you to manage some of the information from the site (both Fred Wilson and Dave Winer have written about this already).

It will be interesting to see if people build widgets for other applications based on this now.  Similar to how we’re seeing widget’s being built incorporating twitter.
