The Amiando team held a reception with Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg in Munich and used the opportunity to introduce their Facebook Connect application for “Viral Ticketing”.
Via the Facebook Connect interface, Amiando users can directly access their friend or acquaintance network in Facebook in order to publicize their events. As external applications have long been able to nest themselves into the Facebook platform, Facebook now wants to use Connect to embed itself into other platforms.
Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg is currently on a promo tour through Germany and recently faced questions from an audience in Munich.
Founderslink partner Oliver Beste posed the question if copycats will in the future need to prepare themselves for a wave of lawsuits from the USA.
Facebook recently took legal action against the German StudiVZ (German site) and Trialpay filed a $3 million lawsuit against new German startup Deal United (German site).
Mark Zuckerberg countered that the legal claim against the “StudiGuys” is a pure precautionary measure which ensures that no one will later be able to accuse Facebook of inaction. The legal system requires companies to take certain measures in advance.
In general, Zuckerberg took copious amounts of time after the official proceedings in order to answer individual questions.
