You have to fight just to find a place to get a word in edgewise! I’ve been getting lots of notes from people who says that this was the best panel at the Graphing Social Media conference. I don’t know about THAT but it was pretty entertaining at parts. Especially when Mike told security to remove a guy who thought Facebook was worth $100 billion.

I had made similar points to other facebook developers and they didn't like to hear it. There are no real contractual guarantees when you are building for facebook to provide you with any protection from FB or others like slide, not to mention historically FB has awarded the least scrupelous of the bunch. He also makes another strong point about revenue and google and contextual e-com revenue ideas. Those of us who survived the first bubble know all to well the shortcomings of the contextual e-com model. Until FB is public we are not really going to know how their book looks and how much they are really making. I suspect we will not see a good emerging revenue model until after the bubble 2.0 has burst and companies are forced to find a way to survive.
