Nothing more, nothing less. If you think something like that's worth billions as we're entering recession and when the number of branding ads is falling each day, I have a bridge to sell you cheap.

2) App developers should do something worthy of their time. Salesforce.com, amazon ec2, or any sane and legitimate outlet makes more sense.

3) Most people bunch myspace, fadbook and second life in the same phrase...

]]> <![CDATA[Widgetmaker: Lost developer enthusiam cuts Facebook's value by $10 billion]]> I agree with the widgetmaker comment. Building a new web site takes alot more time to get eyeball as oppose to having the platform for millions of users. However, the lousy app comment is true. Developers are not spending enough time and you see alot of apps now embedding their own ads. If they're allowed to continue, FB is just another myspace pimping ads and ugly designs and zero functionalities.

Early on, Microsoft whored Windows out less (how many ads did they have for third party apps?), and they actually charged for their platform. Microsoft should be the last company interested in Facebook.
