Facebook announces $10m FB Apps Fund

well Facebook has to pay for its developers and its such a wonderful idea for collecting funds of about $10 billion to pay for developers to develop application for face book. Facebook idea to fund applications built on its own platform is really amazing hope this application rocks the world.The Face book application keeps the machine self feeding and hope it will create a tighter ecosystem.
