Some more than others, Facebook and Twitter seem to embrace openness. However, things can change and every business needs to be ready for that day. Just like every company pitching at TC50 needed to be ready if WiFi went down. The analogy is a little apples and oranges but backup plans are necessary.

I am glad that "Ask Jason" returned this week. It is one of my favorite part of the shows. I thought that the discussion with the gentleman from Toronto regarding his frustrations with the growth of his business's application on the Facebook platform. Jason provided great advice about the need to build relationships with the key people at Facebook so that growth isn't hindered, but also commented on the need to look at distribution beyond. <br><br>Roleof, on the other hand, acknowledged that there are business development challenges with Facebook, but rightfully complimented it on its openness versus predecessors like Yahoo and eBay who did not encourage the growth and development of new applications from the outside.<br><br>Also, like Jason, I am curious about the development of Farmville outside of Facebook. My ten year-old daughter sooooo wants to play with it, but I won't let her bend the rules and lie about her age so she can play with it on Facebook like some of her friends.<br><br>I look forward to today's TWIST.

Roleof, on the other hand, acknowledged that there are business development challenges with Facebook, but rightfully complimented it on its openness versus predecessors like Yahoo and eBay who did not encourage the growth and development of new applications from the outside.

Also, like Jason, I am curious about the development of Farmville outside of Facebook. My ten year-old daughter sooooo wants to play with it, but I won't let her bend the rules and lie about her age so she can play with it on Facebook like some of her friends.

I look forward to today's TWIST. I hopefully will be able to watch in real time!
