Noticed this 4 days ago :)!

maybe 3, 15, 18, 21 and 24 LOL will be added in due course (although to rival top friends and these my x friends applications which tend to have 32 we need 27.30 and or maybe the 4-32 (in lines of 4!)

also if Facebook provides the stuff its better then having 30 applications that do the same thing

This is an interesting new feature. Myspace has had this feature on the profile page for a very long time. I wonder if Facebook is competing with them more than with the Top Friends application.

In my opinion, this is pretty shady. However, given the historical trend of platform dominance over applications (microsoft IE, or any other app provided as "default") it isn't too surprising. It is clearly a "next step" in facebook's product, but undoubtedly should make developers weary of the apps they spend time making.

It will also be interesting to see how Apple's platform turns out as there has already been conflict between Amazon's MP3 store and iTunes. I'll be watching closely as I have a vested interest in the outcome.
