Loomago, a Craiglist like social network for college students that lets them share/exchange textbooks, notes as decided to expand further. The startup has released its Facebook app in integration with their new feature, My Community. With this, its users will be able to login with their Facebook accounts and promote their listings via the news feeds, view recent posts as well as incite their friends. This will prove to be pretty useful for students as they can more readily collaborate to share and assist each other in academics. I am more than hopeful that this will get a green from Facebook’s Verified Apps program.

The phishing season never ends at Facebook and there is no one who will argue about this. Why? Well in then tree weeks, the leading social network has been hit for third time and once again it comes as a message from your friend in your inbox asking you to check areps.at. This is similar to the earlier reported 151.im and does not appear as a link in your Facebook inbox. Under any circumstances don’t try to copy/paste it in your browser.

Facebook has taken a step I thought it never would; letting users login with OpenID credentials. Meaning you can now use your Gmail or any other account that is auto login to signup for a Facebook account and the current users can integrate the same with their social network profile. Why do I think it’s big step? Primarily because Facebook is far ahead of every other social network in terms of users (MySpace is an exception) and given its userbase it didn’t necessarily need to integrate the OpenID, Secondly, Facebook has been air tight when it comes to being a bit more open. This will not only speed up the process for registering as a new user, but will help people find friends far more easily than they did earlier.
