We all know Facebook has slowly been eroding MySpace’s dominance of the Social Netosphere (new word?) - mainly in our view, because it had opened its doors to developers early on. Whether or not zombie games VIII or the 16th wall application are must haves, it gave Facebook a freshness, something new to try everyday [...]
