this is a business move. if you have more apps under your profile page and newsfeed page, the value of the skyscraper on that real estate will be diminished. looks to me this area generates high-volume in page views and could be the most valuable real estate for fb. having said that, competition for app developers will be tougher going forward.

the two charts shown has nothing to do with content itself. it has everything to do with technology advancement and how consumers adopt to it. content will remain the king, experience is the king-maker. to be entertained is human nature and this will never change. what is changing is consumers ability to consumer entertainment content across multi platform: TV, web, ipod and wii...yes, ipod and wii have their own category. it's up to content providers to facility this challenge. but most of the content will continue to be in tv form, simply because the environment consumer created (comfy sofa and flat screen) give them the best experience, for years to come, at least 5-10 years.

she is simply brilliant! however i have to disagree with her on the subject of online branded advertising. technology is enabler, but it is also leveling the playing field on branding.(to certain extent, google is playing a big part). ms. millard may not like it but it is the reality, because consumer behavior is different from offline to online. just look at hulu.com. it becomes a big brand right out of the gate, while it takes years for existing brands to build their brand equities. there is no difference between mslo and cooking.com (a made-up name) for online consumers, if both can deliver the same content. so verticalization of content is the key for ms. millard.
