Wow $35 million for another round of useless FB apps.

  my sentiments exactly jamongkad. I think the key verbiage in the article is "and has done marketing campaigns for other companies like....." If you write a great app then you wrote a great app and if you're lucky you might talk some funding source into paying or lending you $50k for it. If you hire a bunch of great marketing people and give them a crummy app they go out and get some funding source to fork out $35 million for some form of ownership right. This fact of life has to be the greatest frustration there is in being an accomplished developer.

    I mean $35 mil could have been easily distributed amongst the little startups that are actually doing something of value. But that's VC's for yah.

    But doesn't this "fact of life" just mean that developers should spend some time learning to market? Not getting great at it, but at least competent?
