Are people still making money from facebook apps these days? I thought it was over a while back (and thus why the mass exodus to develop on the iPhone although apple's approval process sucks.)
Try Googling for Zynga Revenues. The Facebook platform is orders of magnitude more profitable than iPhone.
Don't mistake buzz for profitability.
I can't up vote you enough. Almost tempted to create new HN accounts just to up vote you.
Of course now I re-read all my comments right after I post them, so I tend to delete quite a few before voting happens either way.
Don't get me started on my Mafia Wars addiction.
That adds up fast, since the platform makes it not too hard to get to hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of pageviews a day. 1m page views per day at 50 cents eCPM is still $182k per year. Not a bad second income stream.
Which ad network do you use?
