Recently there was a shower curtain with the design of a Facebook profile/users wall. It was being widely shared throughout FB. Why isn't Facebook attaching an affiliate link under these types of photos to where I can buy the product or service?

There are other apps that have been built on the Facebook platform for that. Facebook has to stay out of their way in order to remain a true platform.

Are they built into users' news feeds?

farcebook seems intent on pulling a "Digg" crash and burn. Same kind of swamped in hubris jerk pulling the strings. Notice the Zuck, cashed out quite a bit recently. What does he know that we don't? Maybe that the site is a fad and the bubble is bursting in slomo.

Except, this time, there is no Reddit to fall back to.

What the "I don't trust Zuck" means to conservative investors (senior programmers, parents, and other fossils) is that management counts, in fact to old fogies like Buffett it's a major league concern.

The same thing that holds true of a YC company is true of large corporations. To channel Lombardi, "management isn't everything, it's the only thing"
