It is a complete rip-off of facebook from API design to documentation. I have written about it here http://techsutra.blogspot.com/2008/07/rediff-rips-off-facebook.html

@ Manu J: By ensuring that RBML is exactly same as FBML Rediff has ensured that all the facebook apps will run on Rediff own platform . Creating an entirely new language would have been suicide. A nice way to go :)

I agree with SK. They have stated they are compatible with Facebook. It makes sense to have a ready market of 24,000 odd apps that can be plugged onto rediff. Why re-invent the wheel?
Facebook is an SN site rediff is a portal. They’ve stated about opening up content as well which makes it innovative enuff for a lesser mortal like me. Lets not start knocking them already. So much for the indian pride!
