Facebook was a platform for several years. And most value came from 3rd parties. Just to mention the wall as we know it today was a 3rd party application. So what happend to the platform? Facebook canibalized it. Copied better apps. Blocked developers who was too good, bought others. Closed APIs when the ecosystem started to grow. Collected detailed information about ideas people had for applications. For me, doing any app integrated with Facebook is something to be considered as 100% risk. Either you fail, or you will be succeed and destroyed. I will never participate in any "platform" made by Facebook. And i believe a lots of developers who wrote anything using Facebook Platform share the same feeling.
