Facebook + Micro$oft = Love

At Facebook's F8 developer conference, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook Docs, saying: "It's all of the power of Microsoft Office suite online with a simple Facebook integration."

Facebook users will be able to create, edit and share Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents online, or upload them from their PC or Mac. Once on Facebook, documents work in much the same way as photos. In fact, Microsoft based document sharing on Facebook's photo sharing.

The Facebook Docs beta is based on Microsoft Office 2010's Web Apps suite, and Microsoft's Fuse Labs worked on connecting it with Facebook. Fuse is derived from "Future Social Experiences". It has information and video demos on its blog at docs.com/

Facebook users will obviously benefit from the ability to create and share documents, though this seems much more likely to appeal to students than to businesses. Microsoft will benefit by getting up to 400 million users for its online Web Apps. This should get it off to a good start in the inevitable competition with Google Docs.

Ποιος στο υγιές μυαλό του περίμενε κάτι διαφορετικό; Facebook = Micro$oft. Micro$oft = Facebook. Άρα εννοείται πως Facebook Office = Micro$oft Office.

Με λίγα λόγια :P
