If this takes off isn't it going to be an excessive use case? Perhaps because this appears to keep users within Facebook that they won't face a cut-off - That is unless Facebook decided to just do this on their own after they run through all the kinks themselves. This is cool, but vunerable. Go Flex go! Isn’t facebooks API filled with contingencies about cutting off for abuse or excessive use? If this takes off isn’t it going to be an excessive use case?

Considering a majority of college students use shared computers to check their facebook accounts (which prohibit downloads), does this prohibit useage of this product? If thats the case, kiss this one goodbye. is this a business? or something some guys came up with out of boredom?

In their video, they say something about the music they have "legally uploaded". Then they show how to play and share a Michael Jackson clip. How dumb are these guys? I'm pretty sure Michael Jackson's music hasn't been released from copyright. Could this one demo video be enough to blow the protection of the safe harbor of the DMCA? 2. This is totally dependent on a network effect. In order to get use from the service, all of your friends need to be on the service. Maybe if large numbers of people rush to try it, and continually log in, then it will be useful. But if only a few % of Facebook is on the service, then I think it will fail. They could get around this by allowing Mosoto users to communicate with non-Mosoto users, in a way that encouraged the non-users to sign up (i.e. if you tried to chat with a non-Mosoto user, it would send them a PM, encouraging them to try it out).
