What part of "We're FB. we own all your IP. oops. golly, we can't get away with that -- yet" did you miss this week?
All the things you want to be open will certainly be open within a decade. FB won't be the platform. They are already vertically integrating as fast as they can. It's not going to stop.

I could have sworn you were just arguing that Facebook wasn't opening up. And you didn't see the intersection of Twitter and FB's model.

Swear all you like. You'll merely resemble the FB Platform developers who know how FB's openness works.
FB is an all-encompassing social network that is vertically integrating in order to shore up their revenue streams, which so far to have little or nothing to do with their developer community. Their dev community helped them build mass, was shown the door, and is now helping them build distribution (FB Connect). Once they have that distribution, we'll see how FB treats the dev community. I'm not hopeful.
Twitter is a rich messaging system with good APIs. They also vertically integrate a bit (e.g. Summize acq.), and cause their developers issues (XMPP policy changes). However, my guess is that Twitter's revenue will be based on their developer community, not merely using their developer community as a stepping stone.
Their models are only as similar as their dependence on their dev community for revenue.

I agree with you that Beacon has the potential to be a killer advertising app, a marketing quantum leap as important as paid search. The obstacle that's holding Facebook back, though -- to Rafer's comment above -- is Facebook's idiotic, careless approach to PR. Google stole Overture's model, distributed the AdSense platform to millions of web publishers with opaque, perhaps rapacious terms, and convinced everyone that Google's all about doing no evil. Facebook needs to step up their game in the C-suite.

But is it for sale? No. Or could be.
I think twitter would be fools to sell right now approaching the apex of enlightenment. It would be a terrible play for them.
I see twitter standing alone as its own internet titan, why sell to Google, but oh i’m sure Google has been on the front lawn along with Jerry Yang in a toga begging for piece of Twitter. All the while twitter just keeps refining their experience, staying true, and watching people.
I can yield a better pulse on what the planet thinks about a brand thru twitter than I can with search or blog or brand monitoring tools. Most of these tools leverage twitter as well to farm up the pulse. This is hugely valuable, and potentially one of many stakes in the ground as to what people will gravitate to next, and Twitter knows this.
Remember Batman Forever? Twitter is our generations Edward Nygma. (and i think that two face guy could be either facebook and myspace or maybe google i dunno)
Its our brain on the box. Sell to Google, Yahoo.. are you mad?

I agree with one point among three.. It is Adsense-like profile/presence advertising across the web. Useful one it is.. online education
