Those are the ones that have worth to me. If a client came to me wanting to build a facebook app, I would have to turn them down. Not because it is facebook, because I don't see it is a beneficial to the client. All it would do is make my pockets full of their money, and bring them little return. Call me old fashion, I like long term solutions, not current fads. websites/apps that change peoples lives are those that become a part of our daily routine.

What did they do wrong? How can we use this knowledge to build a social networking app that actually helps people? So what did FB do right? What did they do wrong?

I think the launch of the fund is just another way for them to put their marketing machine to work, but like you said, if it is a waste of time, it will not be too long before someone comes up with a more creative way to be unproductive. Then those that stand to gain financially from FB will jump to the new new thing and claim it is the wave of the future. Justin,
