I disagree with "For those looking to develop an extremely popular application, your odds are really low. " Merely because, you don't know it until you build it. If all developers were to take that statement to heart....It would be pretty quiet out there, and you wouldn't have anything to write about.

Jesse,
90% of 5,000 is 4,500. If you had to put a monetary value on any one of those apps, about what would it be? $20? 50?! (I wouldn't pay five cents for one, but maybe others feel different?)

As I said at Community Next, 90% of applications have 1000 or fewer daily active users.

if 84 apps are getting any kind of usage, and there are now 5,242 apps, that leaves 5,158 apps that aren't being used?!
In other words, it's a bad day to be a Facebook Fanboy?
