Facebook and HTML5Hey all
I have been asked to write a report explaining how HTML5 has the potential to enhance facebook.com. I know that facebook already uses HTML5 but I'm not sure how the site could be enhanced further by the use of it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Re: Facebook and HTML5I'd do it like this:
Look at each of the technologies that W3C puts under the HTML5 banner: http://www.w3.org/html/logo/
Go through each of these in turn, and try to apply it to Facebook. Offline local data storage? Better cross-platform compatibility? -

Re: Facebook and HTML5Some examples would include:
- Ability to access and/or update Facebook whilst offline through HTML5 localStorage.
- Better, more integrated support for multi-media.
- Improvements to performance (esp. chat and notifications) by implementing background processes.
- Heterogeneous mobile support, not the fragmented, per-OS app system they currently have.
- You could also mention usability (e.g. improved support for screen-readers, etc).
