When Facebook introduced its platform earlier this year, iLike CEO Ali Partovi told me his company might not have launched its music recommendation service as a web site if a Facebook app had been an option. It sounded crazy at the time, but is becoming much less so. Last night I attended part of the Stanford Facebook class end-of-term presentations, and I think it’s safe to assume that little-to-none of the student applications have any sort of presence outside of Facebook. They’re all about maximizing virality, and that’s simply better done within a social network.
