In the video Jason also states why future Ycombinator startups participating the facebook socializing of your product is a bad idea. You can watch it here
Jason main point is that its a bad idea because facebook has a history stealing good ideas.
I disagree, not that they haven't done that or that there aren't other concerns, like facebook or twitter changing there platform policies. But worrying about any competitor stealing your idea is often a premature concern when you have other things to think about like whether you have a good idea, can you execute well on that idea, how will you get distribution and will people use it.
As Steve blank would say, "You should be so lucky to get to a size that you have a competitor thinking about you".
