The Yahoo comparison makes sense the way Elgan constructs it, but I think it’s more apt to say that Facebook’s goal has been to be the new AOL. “Walled garden” is a phrase that gets batted about a lot with regard to the Big Fruit, but Apple rarely builds services that you’re forced to use in lieu of interoperable standards. Facebook has little interest in building anything but.

Coyote Tracks: Why Facebook is the New Yahoo
I don’t agree with Elgan, it seems like a very stretched and somewhat fallacious comparison right now but I love this gem from Watts Martin. It feels like Facebook is trying so hard to look ‘open’ with all their apps, API’s and login systems but I almost always end up at Facebook rather than departing it.
