Facebook and Salesforce have partnered to make it easier for force.com developers to utilize facebook API. The partnership is designed to position Salesforce at the forefront of what it believes is computings third wave = "cloud computing".

And with facebook offering a userbase of over 120 million - it was the perfect partner for salesforce's cloud computing for business goals.

Here's a snippet from ReadWriteWeb's synopsis of the keynote announcement:

"Benioff told a compelling big picture story that computing has gone through two waves, from mainframe to PC client server and that now we are in the third wave of Cloud Computing. Salesforce.com got into that game early and have the clout and the drive to imagine being the number one player in Cloud Computing for business - assuming that Google will be the number one for consumer."
