People who are baffled by:
* "what Facebook could gain from this?" (must be an evil ploy, yada yada)
* what seems to be a wordpress blog
* the free photo (in spite of Facebook's stock photo deal)
* the G+ icon on the iPhone
* etc
are missing the simple fact that Facebook is not a single giant apparatus of propagating the One Way from top to bottom, but it's instead a conglomerate of regular Joes (and Joannes) like you and me, except smarter on average (probably). It's a good sign I'd say that some of these people care about startups, and get OK'd to start scruffy 20%-style projects such as this.
As I always say about Facebook: I deeply dislike their product‡, but the company is friggin' awesome.
‡ too much noise and unethical shit to put up with for questionable value
