Ask the guys who were denied Twitter's fire hose of data last year. Ask the people saying Facebook was the next phase of the Internet after Facebook started playing with design and the rules around FB apps. If you want to do this, build you own self-supporting app and then spread it out amongst everyone. If not, you may find that one day your lunch money disappears. Exactly!

Totally agree that you should build your own stand alone product and not rely totally on one service.

I'd be curious how Facebook apps are doing with FB's redesign. Tim Marman of Notch.es had a nice writeup "The Barnacle and The Boat" on their blog: http://blog.notches.org/ Too risky to rely on another company's whim (Uhh, Larry Ellison, please don't kill MySQL just yet), but much harder to build your own "boat".
