Today, during the Filtering the Stream roundtable at our RealTime CrunchUp , Seesmic's Loic Le Meur asked why Facebook isn't giving third parties access to their Friend Lists. Obviously, that's a good question now that Twitter has starting giving third parties access to its Lists feature via an API. Normally, you'd expect a canned response along the lines of "we may do that in the future" or "we're thinking about it," but Facebook's VP of Platform Bret Taylor was much more candid. Taylor said that Le Meur's request seemed "reasonable" and continued "we should do that." "We're not working on that. But we should be," he continued. So there you go, done deal. Great. It would seem that soon, third parties should have access to the list filters that Facebook uses.
