>> Small developers are not welcome at Meta You took a long time to come to a conclusion that is common knowledge; "Don't build things which are dependent on someone else's platform." This is a valuable life lesson, and one which (unfortunately) has to be re-learned over and over again. (Ask the Farmville folks). When you build on someone else's platform you are subject to their whims, their changes in direction, their API restrictions, changes, whatever. Meta will do none of the things you suggest. Because (and this will shock you) none of these suggestions are new. Which makes sense - external developers are not their priority. And if you think Twitter, LinkedIn, etc are any better I have a bridge to sell you...
