      The problem w/the App Economy is that the strongest social graph will beat 90% of apps. So Facebook will either buy you or copy you to death

        If you're not a Facebook app, you'll be syncing with Facebook in some way, so you might as well be.

          Just remember what Twitter did to it's 3rd party app community and think of every app on your phone that syncs with Facebook.

            They only reason Facebook hasn't taken over your market is because it only has so many devs. Unless your some Flappy Bird one-off

              But if your Flappy Bird game is syncing with the social graph you'll live or die by Facebook in the end anyway.

                  When you live in a closed garden you let go of your ability to make the rules or reliably self-sustain. Don't let Google do that with AMP.

                    The minute the rules for the platform lie entirely with a single company you might as well cash out.
