Its relatively easy to see why. Scale/distribution. A lot of these small utilities have miniscule, web 2.0 aficionado fan bases with no real way of making money from such a small audience.

All of a sudden, due to the viral nature of Facebook sharing they have a platform of 20m potential customers.

Small companies will become big companies purely from this. Just like Photobucket became huge on the back of MySpace. Its the same sort of thing but far more integrated into FB and far more viral.

Why am i the only one thinking that this strategy will only attract small companies who are seeking to market their product. Good and bad. But why would google try to add their stuff on fecebook. It is like Myspace adding stuff on YouTube. It will only benefit facebook more that the company who creates the widget or program. Totally absurd.

Based on preliminary announcements, Facebook will NOT charge 3rd party developers. I think that many people are missing what is going on. Facebook will enable all sorts of NEW applications, including Person-to-Person Lending, Article Sharing, etc. This is great for Facebook community -- users who do not want this will not participate, those who want will.

one thing I'm wondering is how much this will cost. Facebook is notorious for being super $$ for 3rd party advertisers - minimum of $30K/month for banners and $50K/month 3 month minimum for having a sponsored Facebook group.

If they were smart they'd let even the little people help build useful tools for their users.

Interesting strategy. Interesting which ways of integration they'll allow.

This is great news. I'll be attending the F8 event and look forward to exciting things to come. Currently, my team as developed a pop-up notifier for facebook on their current API Platform (http://www.fbquick.com). We plan to see how we can enhance it after the F8 meeting for cooler things to come.

They should be careful with all of these big changes. One thing I love about Facebook is its brilliant usability and ease of use.

What I like about this strategy is that I see playing to the strengths of the company, namely, being a social communications platform.
