  I'm curious what Similar Posts is going to be. Something like StumbleUpon for links?

  Someone please explain the difference between this a FB's Platform. My guess - Prototypes = useful extensions of FB and Apps = fun & games?

    Prototypes is trying out possible new core features. Apps are non-essential functionality.

      Platform wasn't sold that way initially, in fact they bragged about how something as core as Photos or Gifts could be replaced by a superior version created by 3rd party developers. I found the difference now - it's in the description of the main prototypes page: "Prototypes are product experiments built by Facebook engineers". http://www.facebook.com/apps/directory.php?app_type=6 http://www.facebook.com/apps/directory.php?app_type=6
