When Has Playing By the Rules Ever Paid Well?

There was a panel at the Web 2.0 Expo today in San Francisco titled “The Facebook Platform: Finding Success in the Facebook Economy.” So far all signs depict a negative image of the panel. Not of the panelists per say, but that all the panelists were bitching about the state of the Facebook platform and the lack of money in the “Facebook economy.” When the platform launched we instantly saw a number of millionaires made overnight and when you can smell money in the air, you can guarantee that VCs are prowling around and entrepreneurs are trying to sniff out opportunity.
