AllFacebook: Facebook Application Sale Disappoints

    Don't forget about "Where I've Been"... $3 million (!!)

    The buyers of Where I've Been denied that it was purchased for $3m. It was just an unfounded blog rumour.

    All they did is create an image and say it was "limited edition". If anything the lack of winning bid is a sign that Web 2.0 and Facebook apps are not a bubble, and that people actually care about ROI.

    Eventually someone will pay serious money for an application, creators merely need to focus on business model rather than on the number of active users.

    As other social networks increasingly incorporate user applications, investors will be looking for applications that have established a foothold in numerous networks. Focussing purely on Facebook would be a bad investment

    let's not forget the bogus auction of the "I am Hungry" app, for $20K.
    (except that Nick still believes it to be legit!).
    Someone bought that POS for $20K and what, go look, they have done nothing, in months, to it?

    and why stop with apps, I'd love to unload my Fan Page (141 "fans" and growing) on some sucker(whoops, I mean 'investor').

    It's not the economy, it's the profit and ROI that important..
