Why? They put users to work generating content, use the wisdom of crowds, provide picks and shovels for further innovation, leverage Facebook scale, use networked communications, or address a Facebook shortcoming.

I remember reading comments by people who participated in their first fund drive, most of whom felt like they were deceived into getting a fair shot at winning. The criteria for winning were not laid out clearly, and the process of selection was completely hidden from the community. It appears that the winners were not even announced until the dev community protested through their forums... As it turned out, the winners of the first fund were mediocre in quality and the honesty and fairness of the selection came into question. They keep beating the same lame drum the new rounds of fbfund and it sure seems like they're after some fresh naive blood. Wait isn’t this a deja-vu?
