A couple of days after Dries Buytaert gave his keynote at DrupalCon San Francisco and reaffirmed his support for the Semantic Web in Drupal, Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg announced at the f8 developer conference the brand new Open Graph protocol, a technology to turn webpages into social objects and capture them in a social graph.

There is plenty to read about the marketing around this announcement, but I'm going to keep this post at a technical level only.
