In a few months they'll shut this down like all their other failed attempts at launching spin-off apps. They'll take whatever they learned from it and apply it back to the Facebook app.

My take on copying ideas from others: Copy only if you can make it really a lot better (it's called improving). Substantially. So much so that you become that improvement. If the copy is marginal, ordinary or simply to snatch userbase, then you deserve to be crushed and ignored. Facebook has a lifelong story of doing the latter and then, after the obvious outcome.. buy everything that's for sale. Whatever happens, it all gets fed into Facebook core services. Garbage and diamonds. I do not see anything different here, any improvements at all and I won't be surprised if Facebook makes an offer after failing (it's just history). If they haven't already..
