Yes - it was fantastic to hear him endorsing HTML5. These days all I hear is chants of "apps, apps, apps" from everybody and I just keep thinking - don't you all know what a disaster this is? Zero interoperability, colossal wasted man hours for all of humanity building duplicated native apps across different platforms everywhere, all to do the same thing, just to pander to the vanity of giant companies like Apple, Google, RIM, etc.

I must say, it feels quite strange to be agreeing vehemently with Mark Zuckerberg, but I hope he keeps talking like this. What he should say is that Facebook will always build a first class HTML5 client before anything else, so it is in the interests of every platform to have a first class HTML5 support.
