As Facebook Shows Its Fear, Open-Xchange Bounces Back

The arriver of the Google+ societal network has caused a battle to erupt over ownership of Facebook users' contact information, and on Midweek open source provider Open-Xchange fought back against Facebook's earlier deactivation of its OX.IO export tool.

"We simply added a new API key to the export tool around," wrote Open-Xchange Chief executive officer Rafael Laguna in a Wednesday post connected the keep company's blog. "Facebook could persist in with their 'cagy' scheme and inactivate the new API key again. Do we cogitate they will? I doubt that Facebook wants to continue their slow public suicide."

The tool is forthcoming on Open-Xchange's Wild ox.IO site; instructions for exploitation it are provided in an earlier blog C. W. Post from go week.

A Meg Users Per Day

The OX.IO tool is an extension to the Social OX feature on Open-Xchange's namesake open source political program that uses the official APIs from various friendly and business networks–including Facebook–to make up an marketable address ledger that can then be used still the substance abuser pleases.

Importing that information into Google+ is one example.

Preceding to deactivating Visible-Xchange's OX.IO tool, Facebook did the same thing to the Facebook Friend Exporter Chrome annex besides. Though neither instrument was designed exclusively for Google+, the growing popularity of the new gregarious network evidently caused Facebook to sit up and take poster of what has certainly been a spike in activity.

Indeed, IT looks like Google+ has been gaining around a million users per day since its launching, putt it well happening track to hit 20 million users by week's death.

No question Facebook is sweating.

Overriding Users

This is a high-stakes battle, and users pauperization to pay juxtaposed attention.

I've never been a fan of privacy-challenged Facebook, but what's especially breathtaking about these latest actions are that it South Korean won't let anything tap a user's admirer list, even if the user has given permission to do so.

IT's trying to claim ownership of users' contacts, in other words.

Facebook has gotten a great deal of flak over the years for its privacy violations, and truly thus. But for complete those World Health Organization needed a clear signal of its intentions, this is it.

Facebook ISN't interested in your best interests; it's interested in owning and controlling your info. Looks like information technology's about time to get on the open seed lifeboat and get the heck out of there.
