		<description>If the apps are taking some way which seems to be wrong to get the users on it or if its spammy then I don't think there is anything wrong to close the door for them however as Rock You CEO quoted, they are working with FB so I am sure they will find out some new business solution for them.</description>

		<description>Why will facebook not have a real release of their code into open source. What benefits will the open source community or any developer not working for face book receive for working on a facebook app ?

If I build the app for facebook will they give part of the revenue that it makes back to me or to the community ?

Maybe it is time that members realize that being a part of the facebook community is very much like being a share cropper. You grow the food, but you cant own the land that you cultivate. You are only allowed a few crumbs to survive until your hard labor produces the next crop.

It is time for the community to take back their content and to receive a benefit for the fruits of their content an actions.

At adelph.us we believe that members that are selling products and members that build a strong community following can work hand in hand. We belive that giving all members of the community the ability to earn revenue and build intrest is a key to having a community where there always exist an opportunity to create and share.

All products that are added to a members adelph.us store are automatically available for resell by any other members of the community. The default affiliate rate for all products in adelph.us stores is 5% of the product sale price. Sellers can opt to change this to a higher rate.

All members have the option of sharing the revenue from product sells with; friends, or groups.

In addition to this adelph.us will donate a portion of its revenue to the adelph.us community bank each time a product is sold.

When a member sees a product on adelph.us that the would like to sell; all they need to do to is click the “Resell This” link that is at the bottom of all product details pages. Once this is done the product is added to the members store where it is available for purchase by other members.

Unlike facebook adelph.us is open source, so if you do want to make changes and have your own version you are “Free” to do so.</description>

		<description>[...] TECH CRUNCH &#8212; July 7 &#8212; Facebook is continuing its war on Facebook apps that push the limits on acceptable user interaction. Last week it was Slide&#8217;s Top Friends App, which it briefly suspended. Later Facebook also suspended Social Me. This time they&#8217;re targeting Slide&#8217;s rival RockYou and their Super Wall application, which tends to have a lot of spammy user content. But instead of shutting down the application wholesale, they&#8217;ve simply turned off the viral components of the app - invitations, notifications, etc. A month ago Super Wall had 2.4m average daily users. Today it&#8217;s 600,000 and falling fast. RockYou CEO Lance Tokuda says they&#8217;re working with Facebook to fix the issues and expect things to return to normal soon.

		<description>As a marketer, I've learned a lot from Slide and rockyou's viral marketing tactics.  But facebook may be teaching us the most important lesson yet - "don't annoy users with hyper aggressive viral marketing."  As marketers we need to moderate ourselves if we want viral marketing to continue working in the long run...  I've posted some key marketing lessons based on the Slide/rockyou/facebook situation here: http://startup-marketing.com/2008/07/07/overaggressive-virality-causes-facebook-app-backlash.aspx .</description>

		<description>Feel a bit bad for Rockyou and Slide.  Facebook, MySpace, and all these social networks use these "viral" tactics to gain initial user traction.  Rockyou and Slide are not doing anything different.  In fact, their messages are probably helping Facebook to retain its users.

They are just getting all the blames.</description>

		<description>What this proves is that viral growth is not all it's cracked up to be, it has little user retention capability, and serves only to jack up valuations on inflated numbers.

 Just look at how quickly those active numbers dropped off after spam was disables. If those users had been actual loyal users of the app, who derived serious value from it, they wouldn't have dropped off so quickly. The reality is, viral growth is a shitty business model that abuses your customers by treating them as disease vectors.

And one thing people do when they get a disease is try and get rid of it as soon as possible.

FaceBook's entire platform is based on a disease concept, which is why that $15 billion valuation will crumble into vapor once the antibodies of rationalism and viral-app-fatigue bite into them.</description>

		<description>facebook should goes public to raise money to compete with Google. If they keep slacking off then other social networks will eventually caught up and it will be too late. 

There is no way they could compete with Google with little cash they have now. They may stay alive for a while but won't make any progress. 

It should be wiser to go public raise cash while their stock is hot and make some acquisition in search (buy Ask) and enter google space.

That's a good strategy!!! If they don't they will be end up like Yahoo somedays.</description>

		<description>Lessons learned:

1. RockYou and Slide's business model is built around Facebook (and other social networks)

2. Facebook's business model is built around Facebook

3. RockYou and Slide's business model has failed

4. Facebook's business model is non-existent

Mark Zuckerberg is going to wish he'd sold a long time ago.  The jokes on you Marky Mark.</description>

		<description>This is good news. As I say on our blog, creating widgets that rely on you spamming your friends to propagate, is about as forward-looking as putting radio on TV.  It’s just a waste of the medium, channel and audience attention.</description>
