Jash Catone asks if the Facebook platform is a fad or a success. It turns out that two Facebook applications have been sold for small profits. I suspect that it's both a fad and success. Facebook got developers to write apps for them and lock-in users. Developers made coin. Users got apps. That's a lot of success. Will people be writting Facebook apps in 3 years? I doubt it. That's a fad.
