Standing on one leg, Facebook made a couple changes to its API, which is the way other developers (like me) can write programs that Facebook users can use.

That’s it. A couple API changes. Removing a couple minor features which were annoying end-users, discussing some future changes.

Putting my foot down, I’m left with nothing more to say. I’m not going to tell you what it means, because to me, it doesn’t mean much. As a current developer, and someone who plans on being much more involved in social media development in the future, it is what it is - an API update. If the blogging world were to talk about whenever there was an update to any API, you’d lose your mind.

What is interesting to me, however, is the amount of coverage this small change is getting. I could list dozens more posts, but I’ve read… and forgot… them all :-). The fact that Facebook making such a small change can generate so much in the blogosphere to me signifies that people consider Facebook a serious part of our every day lives. Or, it’s just the latest shiny object. Depressing how bloggers sometimes possess the same traits as the rest of the media.
