I am really really surprised why everyone thinks this is new. Salesforce.com did the exact same thing several years back, and it should not have taken any large social network to have epiphany to think of this. The on-demand platform model worked very well for Salesforce.com, but I am not sure the same applies to consumer social networks. Its tough to think that we will do "all" our social interactions in one network. If this is just a way for them to boost their traffic... sure, it definitely will do that I am sure. Essentially, the app developers who build for facebook will market facebook further as well.
I am not sure this is SO market changing and SO big. And Salesforce.com did the same long back. Ofcourse, I am also not sure if I am right :-)
