DISQUS

Neil @ Facebook Insight · 1 year ago

What did anybody expect? The company is still trying to secure funding, and although I'll probably get whacked on the head for this, I think that having a few Applications that truly demonstrate the community potential will be good for all Application Developers in the long run.

I mean, invites alone aren't enough to seal the deal. If you want to take on the big boys at CBS, come up with a better idea, a better marketing scheme, and face the music: the social web isn't going to be fair for a while.

Maybe until Google's "do no evil" mantra comes into play, and OpenSocial/FriendFeed rules the web.

I really don't see why not. It's a good application. I just wish there weren't so many other applications so my friends would pay attention to the bracket invite I sent instead of ignoring it along with the 10+ invites they get from other apps every day.

You're absolutely right Nick. It's hard to come out and talk about this, as we don't want to get punished by Facebook.
