If you do, Facebook will take it and add it to their main features."<br><br>I think this just another reason why ultimately Facebook's closed eco-system won't work. Facebook's ability to quickly make an app like yours and steal your thunder is too much of a disincentive to start developing on their platform.<br><br>It causes me to have that much more respect for Twitter, which is essentially just like Facebook Statuses, but is seeing great success independent of Facebook.Justin ThorpThu, 30 Aug 2007 18:15:50 -0000
