Last night, Facebook made a number of updates to the Facebook platform, the most important of which is the opening of Facebook status updates.

In order to get Facebook statuses, you no longer need to use a session ID.

This is a huge update and one that should rocket Facebook to the next level.

There are also some other updates listed in the Facebook blog post:

Specifically, your applications can now directly access all of a user’s status, links, and notes via new methods and FQL calls. Your application will have access to any status, notes, or links from the active user or their friends that are currently visible to the active user. In addition, we’re opening new APIs for you to post links, create notes, or upload videos for the current user, and we’ve made setting a user’s status easier.

One other massive update to Facebooks API last night - the ability to upload videos through developer apps. This is a huge update.  We'll likely see many developers start to take advantage of this new feature.
