The on-demand platform model worked very well for &lt;a href="http://Salesforce.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Salesforce.com&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am not sure this is SO market changing and SO big. And &lt;a href="http://Salesforce.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Salesforce.com&lt;/a&gt; did the same long back. Ofcourse, I am also not sure if I am right :-)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">BetterLabs</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 25 May 2007 12:53:43 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
