Pure marketing ploy.

The platform itself, however, was a super strong move in web development. No question.</description>

		<description>I think one of the best examples of how applications  fail is &quot;Feedheads&quot;, application that allows you to insert your Google Reader shares into your newsfeed. It is very nice and enough for the task; but it failed to get enough userbase.

But half a year later Facebook announces that they will allow people to feed their Google Reader shares into newsfeed using new native features - and everyone (Techcrunch editors included) rejoices, like if it was not possible before.

So, to sum up: native features will always win over 3rd-party apps. Just because they have better leverage and easier way to the user.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t believe you didn&#039;t ink to this report: http://20bits.com/2008/05/06/the-state-of-the-facebook-platform/

It provides a detailed quantitative analysis of the developer forums and the platform, showing that developers are less committed to the platform today and that it&#039;s much harder to succeed now than it was even two months ago.</description>
