The lack of imagination coming from Facebook today in terms of the monetization of their products is disappointing.

Is there really no way that they can make money without pissing of their users? It seems like at that scale there should be new ways that they can try to make money other than simply following the tried and true method of shoving adds down everyone's throat.

I'm fairly sure they could make big bucks charging for their developer API. They'd roll in cash and users wouldn't experience much of an implact.

There would be an impact on users, I assure you. Just not directly predictable.

The "send real world physical gifts" seemed pretty imaginative. Apart from that, I totally agree.
