What a genius move! Let folks make money off of facebook without any revenue share--and when there is enough money being made, introduce a revenue share program and become a cash cow. Makes sense and totally fair.

These guys have found a solution to every MySpace problem.

Is there any broader moral to this story? It illustrates, I think, one of the problems with tech journalism. The career reporters show poor judgement, because they've never been on the inside. Some of the most interesting news, and analysis, comes from insiders like Arrington, who has been bouncing around the Valley for most of the past decade. But they suffer, not just from conflicts of interest, but also from the perpetual risk that something they write will be at odds with something they've done, as Arrington has demonstrated here.
