Great post as usual.

There is also an incredible opportunity to use embedded widgets for government based marketing, but if you think it’s difficult explaining the concept to business leadership, try doing it in public sector…

Henry, thanks good tip.

Finding out how to embed was a bit confusing, maybe make a quick start guide. Also, it would be helpful to let them spread if there was an ‘embed this’ right on the embed. Also, some of the vendors I didn’t add as I didn’t see them in Crunchbase.

There are so many opportunities for Crunchbase…

Widgets and Brands not getting it….

I have worked with several widget initiatives and have seen this too. Trying to understand new media under the old marketing rules. i.e: Can’t teach a old dog new tricks. I believe that cost per engagement, over brand impressions, is a key hurdle and needs to be more standardized in order for marketing spend and ROI return to be more widely adopted in the social spaces.

Thanks again for another great post.

Hey Jeremiah,

Thanks for doing the roundup on the current state of the facebook app world. Nice to get some context and info — especially since I know very little.

Quick tip on the CrunchBase widgets: you can add multiple companies onto a single widget. Just keep clicking the ‘add company’ link.

Funwall? Wow. When is someone going to make the completely obvious Facebook app – online dating.

People on Facebook are generally young, social, and tech-savvy. Online dating has never been more popular. But Match.com is Web 1.0, eHarmony can be fustrating, and Fling.com is, well…um…

Every other ad I see on FB is for some external dating site. It’s so clear there’s a HUGE market here. People are notorious for dating on MySpace already, in a haphazard manner. This is a golden opportunity.
