On: What Facebook Should Steal From Microsoft’s Playbook

[smiler]

This is a terrible article in my opinion. He says the app eco system on facebook is not thriving. Is there any data behind this statement? Has facebook seen a drop off in facebook games or facebook game activity?

He talks about news feeds and gaming activity in there - fb explicity moved away from this because everyone was complaining about fb games in news feeds, but I think that people are playing the games?

In local supermarkets here in the UK, they are selling fb gift cards, specifically branded by game, so things must be going ok?

This article is mere speculation

"This article is mere speculation"...."so things must be going ok?"

"This is a terrible article in my opinion"..."Has facebook seen a drop off in facebook games or facebook game activity?"

I must make absolute statement. I must also follow up with wishy-washiness.

I was saying that the article did not answer the question if there was a drop off in facebook games and facebook game activity. I assume that only fb can answer these questions.

I put them out there in case anyone did know the answers. The fact I've seen facebook gift cards in stores with Mafia Wars branding seems to me that there a fair few people still playing these games.
