I think FB needs a lot more of this. Their API is basically essential for many tech startups these days, and a lot of things 3rd parties are doing they could and should be doing themselves. Where is the FB game development studio? The FB Spotify competitor (not FB music that was a rubbish attempt)? FB Yelp? FB amazing-idea-of-tomorrow-that-utilizes-the awesome-power-of-nearly-a-billion-users?
I still think the FB marketplace is something they haven't spent nearly enough time on. Oodle just isn't cutting it, and FB could easily compete with eBay or Craigslist. In fact, Facebook should be competing with CL in everything. I don't think it needs to be motivated by revenue, but by an actual desire to make amazing products using the FB graph in all those areas. Just some thoughts.
