The move will see MySpace following in the footsteps of Facebook; Facebook’s wildly popular F8 release has seen in excess of 1000 additional applications made available to Facebook users and has driven enormous growth.
MySpace still maintains leadership in the social networking space based on user numbers and traffic, and has continued to grow; however there is little doubt today that the hearts and minds of the people who count have abandoned MySpace for Facebook. The moves to an open platform also comes after reports earlier this week claiming that DeWolfe was asking for a $12.5 million annual salary to stay on at MySpace. If DeWolfe can successfully play catch-up with Facebook he may end up being worth it.

posted Jun 29 @ 12:19 AM by Jason Kottke · gift link
Earlier in the week, I made a comment in passing in a post about Vimeo:
you do know that Facebook is AOL 2.0, right?
A few people picked up on it and speculated what I might have meant by it. In reading those posts and poking around a bit, I found a post that Scott Heiferman made just after Facebook Platform launched in May:
While at Sony in 1994, I was sent to Virginia to learn how to build a Sony “app” on AOL (the #3 online service, behind Compuserve & Prodigy at the time) using AOL’s proprietary “rainman” platform.Fast forward to Facebook 2007 and see similarities: If you want access to their big base of users, develop something in their proprietary language for their people who live in their walled garden.
Scott pretty much nails it here. I’ve no doubt that Facebook is excited about their new platform (their userbase is big enough that companies feel like they have to develop for it) and it’s a savvy move on their part, but I’m not so sure everyone else should be happy about it. What happens when Flickr and LinkedIn and Google and Microsoft and MySpace and YouTube and MetaFilter and Vimeo and Last.fm launch their platforms that you need to develop apps for in some proprietary language that’s different for each platform? That gets expensive, time-consuming, and irritating. It’s difficult enough to develop for OS X, Windows, and Linux simultaneously…imagine if you had 30 different platforms to develop for.
As it happens, we already have a platform on which anyone can communicate and collaborate with anyone else, individuals and companies can develop applications which can interoperate with one another through open and freely available tools, protocols, and interfaces. It’s called the internet and it’s more compelling than AOL was in 1994 and Facebook in 2007. Eventually, someone will come along and turn Facebook inside-out, so that instead of custom applications running on a platform in a walled garden, applications run on the internet, out in the open, and people can tie their social network into it if they want, with privacy controls, access levels, and alter-egos galore.
Update: I’ve clarified my AOL vs. Facebook thoughts here.

My wife just introduced me to the Best of Craigslist. It’s definitely some of the most entertaining reading I’ve found in a while. The link she sent me was entitled: Wanted: STONER BOYFRIEND. In the personal ad she claims that she wants a hippy boy because the other ‘type’ she’s dated has disappointed her. Here’s one of her complaints about the “successful type”:
“It’s as if faithfulness dives to the ground on the seesaw when success, money, and a hot car rises to the sky on the other end.”
Doesn’t it seem like that sometimes? Not necessarily just with faithfullness but with everything family/relationship related. When the seesaw tips in the direction of the career the family suffers and vice-versa. So that you’re constantly neglecting one for the other. This is something every family man/woman with any ambition has struggled with at some point. I know I have! My own personal struggle with this balancing act is what inspired me to write this TrackSuit blog. And there’s the solution right there in the phrase ‘balancing act’. It shouldn’t be a like a seesaw, tipping in one direction or the other, but a balancing act. Much like a tightrope walk. Your true happiness depends on you balancing these roles constantly as you carry forward. If you begin to lean to the right you must quickly readjust until eventually your muscle memory gets used to the routine. Now the other thing about the balancing act/tight rope analogy is that the stakes are much higher. On a seesaw you’re expected to have ups and downs but on a tight rope there’s no room for error and it’s a long way down. You balance all of your roles or you’re going down!
In the classic The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Stephen Covey focuses almost exclusively on balancing roles; your role as a parent, spouse, friend, employee, business owner (etc.) and also your role as an individual. You are encouraged to set up your schedule with your commitments to all of these roles in mind. And you know Covey, being the good Mormon boy he is, practices all of this in his own life. After reading this book I felt like I had a glimpse into why Mormons are almost always successful, happy and spend so much time with their families.
In my daily scheduling routine I use one of Covey’s tools called the Weekly Compass. It has you split up your roles and write your commitment to each one. You then go to your calendar and schedule these commitments. It’s very effective and I definitely recommend this tool. As you use it you eventually find that it’s a habit. If the girl who wrote the personal ad would just start looking for someone who keeps their commitments, she’d find that they have much better habits than the ones associated with your typical “Stoner Boyfriend”.
