]]> <![CDATA[Why big brands are getting Facebook wrong]]> very few big corp FB apps have been successful getting traction (exception: TripAdvisor's Cities I've visited, altho since TA was also internet startup themseleves b4 getting acquired by Expedia -> IAC, hard to really call them a 'big corp'.

given the rampant success of many smaller developers with independent FB apps, seems like most big co's should be buying / licensing / sponsoring smaller shop efforts, rather than trying to build themselves. they could probably get some decent apps for low 5 figures, rather than wasting their own time/resources.

several such companies now starting to approach students in our Stanford FB class, also other FB developers i know. hopefully others wise up... would help to develop the market faster. lots of app users out there, but not as much ad dollars as possible in future (yet).
