Facebook is planning a strategic move by turning its platform into an open source project, reported Techcrunch.

With this, any social network will become Facebook compatible. This will allow developers to change the Facebook components for their own use and deploy them on their websites, and help developers to build richer applications.

This is seen as a reaction to Open Social, which is backed by Google, Myspace and Yahoo. Open Social is also an open source platform, run by the Open Social Foundation.

Facebook will soon release additional details. X
