Good point too! To me this feels like signing up for a franchise instead of starting your own business, you have control, but not full control. For some purposes or ideas it's a great.

Theres an interesting quote in the gigaom article:

Looks like I talked too soon about mosoto. One of te facebook applications is box.net integration which kind makes mosoto redundant.
