"Facebook announced last night that it will give away Thrift, a core part of its software infrastructure, as open source.  Thrift is a software framework that takes one programming language and performs code generation to \"create programs that communicate easily and efficiently across many programming languages\".  A Babel Fish of sorts.\nFor the geeky explanations, see the Thrift page and download the framework.  Thrift, of course, is being distributed through Facebook account using Facebook Sync."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
