Facebook and Microsoft Partnership on Technology

by YODspica Authors on February 3, 2010

Silverlight Client IconFacebook and Microsoft have partnered to create a standalone Facebook client powered by the new Silverlight 4 Beta technology.  Microsoft’s Silverlight 4 Beta enables Facebook users to browse and interact with a completely different interface.

After enabling the Silverlight client and all the permissions dialogs, the result is a GUI (graphic user interface) in a black finish.  Silverlight powers big fonts among other features.  After setup is completed, browsing is easy and a nice new feature is the new interface on the photo album on the right side.  Another relevant element is the events tab which is a better alternative to the way that the Facebook Events calendar can be viewed.

Definitely check out the Silverlight Client and try browsing Facebook in a different way.
