2011. This in my memory is the year of the industry-wide vibe shift from open APIs to walled gardens/cesspools.

Speaking of industry wide shift, how many companies has FB fucked up by proxy?

I refer to the video metrics scandal. How many video autoplay and other things has everyone felt obliged to copy because Zuckerberg (who seems to care about nobody) made FB into a fradulent company?

  • Remember when Facebook was an application development platform? And people built businesses on that, and then they just kind of stopped allowing that? Good times.
