If you are a “startup” that’s looking to launch a feature, then yes, be concerned about Facebook. However if you are a legitimate entrepreneur, you’d be smart enough to realize that you’ll need to bring more to the table in order to have any sort of acquisition (and even more important, build revenue).

CalXXXis Pays Lip Service To Facebook’s “Embrace” Of Entrepreneurs

Rafer sez:
@nickoneill Jason aside, this comment is completely divorced from the reality of building a company. Fast teams start with a feature and then find a business. That’s the reasonable model, particularly for younger founders. It’s entirely legitimate and you are (very unusually to your credit) spreading disinformation to say otherwise.

Sawickipedia: Though lost in the hysteria you rightly point out @Rafer is the correct message which is be very, very cautious with your company’s engagement with Facebook.  Facebook has trampled many a company (see Slide, RockYou, our own well documented story at Lookery for those unaware, etc.).  Remember everyone Facebook has made no self-delusional Don’t be Evil motto’s.  Facebook is in business for itself and makes no bones about it.  There is nothing wrong w/ Facebook’s point of view, it is just important for everyone else to realize it and act accordingly.
