The snap-in app stuff loses a lot of its potential when Microsoft comes out and says that devs have to establish traditional console publishing partnerships. e.g. Want to put your app.net snap-in out there so people can communicate that way during broadcast events? Sorry, Twitter doesn't want it. Maybe Facebook has enough money to buy its way in, but you're SOL. Want to do an Amazon-style "X-Ray" companion app for video content? Sorry, Microsoft is rolling their own. xmpp chat? Nope. It's Skype-or-nothing. etc.
