Maniacal Rage: The Problem with Facebook's "Places"
That’s the problem with Facebook. They are slowly destroying independent web applications with boring versions that immediately win due to Facebook’s population (which at this point is the 3rd largest country on earth). There’s no demand for excellence. Just make sure the feature list keeps growing.
Hopefully, though, independent web apps can maintain their own user base (and quality) while integrating with Facebook’s ecosystem. Sort of the Apple “it’s profit not market share” attitude.
