Dreamforce just started in San Francisco bringing an estimated 10,000 developers, partners, media to Salesforce.com‘s annual reunion.
Today, the San Francisco, Calif.-based company announced an agreement with social startup Facebook to bring their platforms together. “We are seeing social meet CRM and the enterprise for the first time,” said in a statement Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO of Salesforce.com.
Salesforce.com brings Facebook social graph to enterprise applications hosted on Force.com
What it means is that Salesforce.com developers will be able to easily integrate Facebook’s social data and features (sharing, connecting…) into their business-oriented application hosted on Salesforce.com platform dubbed “Force.com”. Something that FaceForce did late last year but on an ad-hoc manner.
Apps-O-Rama is one of the first developers to take advantage of the new integration points (APIs) with its online application called Get Stuff Done for Facebook that helps individuals and groups collaborate on projects on Facebook. Get Stuff Done can be used for anything users want to get done together, including sharing files, creating and assigning “to-do” lists, managing projects and seeing what happened while they were offline. It lets users go beyond group formation, and allows them to do things together such as plan trips, organize events, move to a new apartment and much more.
