Developers, Facebook Has Simplified Requests

Facebook has unveiled a more streamlined request dialog for developers that promises to also speed things up for end users.

The social network has done away with the formal limitations on the number of requests that each user could send, and instead is fine-tuning its spam detection systems to eliminate abuse of the protocol. The new request dialog works in IFrame apps and no longer requires Facebook Markup Language on the server side. Use the following code for the new and improved protocol:

That set of code brings up the type of window that you’ll see reproduced below from the example used in Facebook’s developer blog:

Facebook isn’t immediately phasing out the old code for request dialogs, but eventually they will stop working — no formal deadline for that has been announced yet. In the mean time, the social network will allow developers to embrace the new protocol at their own pace.

Have you had a chance to take Facebook’s new request dialog code for a spin, and if so, what do you think of it?

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i...
