Anyone making or planning to make money with Facebook?

Please share your thoughts or experience.

I thought about it and looked into it, but I think it's too competitive for my liking. You'd have to either strike it lucky or be very committed.

I also don't like to build a business that's totally beholden to another business (Facebook) without proper safeguards.

I know I a replying to an old thread here but I do have extensive plans involving development of an application for Facebook....Did you get anywhere or do anything, I would be very grateful if you could let me know.

I have an idea for an application for Facebook, for which I'd need a francophone butcher with a sound business head. Someone who looks good in a flat cap would be just perfect.

Can anyone recommend such a chap?
