While I think it's awesome to have friends in high places, and I wish these guys the best, it reminds me just how miserable it was to work on the FB platform.

Their milquetoast, ever-changing policy that's occasionally enforced and frequent API updates and breakage was maddening at best. IMHO FB makes apple's app store policies seem "not so bad".

I understand that zynga and the lot have made a lot of money, and the level of traffic FB can provide is intoxicating... but I'll be damned if i'd do that again. This tale is a good reminder of why.
