How I would have tried differently about mixing commercial feeds in Facebook timeline for accelerating revenue.

3rd party apps are not allowed to access the Social Graph beyond 1st level connections i.e. you cann't get friends of friends. But I wonder , why does facebook not develop Apps based on their Social Graph by itself.

Could be it was because facebook wanted to focus and capture other important stuff like - facebook comment plugin , facebook like button, facebook share plugin ...

They always knew that replicating craiglist can be done any day later.

More information on promoting facebook posts is here : http://www.facebook.com/help/promote

But i guess for last few days it has been disabled for Individual accounts.

Also facebook has "strangely" stopped showing "Why this ad" after facebook signout. !!
