Microsoft and Facebook Launch a Partnership

Microsoft and Facebook partner to provide a great development experience for the Facebook Platform using Microsoft Popfly and Visual Studio Express.

"Facebook Platform empowers developers to utilize the social graph—the network of connections through which people communicate and share information—like never before. And, by building tools that ordinary people can use to develop experiences on top of the social graph, Microsoft helps people define their experience on Facebook."

—Dave Morin, Senior Platform Manager, Facebook
