1vc.typepad.com — Geneticists have long used the fruit fly for their experiments to see how mutations affect future generations. The fruit fly is inexpensive, has a short life span and multiplies rapidly. In many ways, FaceBook has become the fruit fly for application developers. Developers can quickly implement a new application and launch it to 30 million users.

Digg isn't tailored to your interests alone, kiddo.

This only makes sense if the types of applications are the same. They're not. An "application" that tracks which places in the world I have been to and, say I dunno Firefox don't really share much in common.

Just because there are no marketing costs, doesn't mean there aren't any deployment costs. A popular app can destroy a server much like being Dugg... and that's not Facebook's servers, that's *your* server.
