(disclaimer, I worked on this)<p>Facebook has focused on the social graph, Freebase connects people and more. We liked the lightweight approach of the Graph API, so here's our version: <a href="http://graph.freebaseapps.com/the_simpsons/seasons?html=1" rel="nofollow">http://graph.freebaseapps.com/the_simpsons/seasons?html=1</a><p>You can even use Facebook usernames (if we have them) <a href="http://graph.freebaseapps.com/facebook.jackie/movies?html=1" rel="nofollow">http://graph.freebaseapps.com/facebook.jackie/movies?html=1</a><p>One neat feature is the ?html=1 mode, which makes the JSON api browsable. I'd love to see other apis implement this.<p>What do you think?

Great idea and implementation. This should make it really easy for devs to target the Freebase/Facebook graphs using a single API.
