The fact that Facebook helped spur its popularity just sucks more. It just shows how fickle most users are - if they're willing to move from Friendster to MySpace to Facebook, they are certainly willing to drop and add applications within a single social network. There is no loyalty to Slide or RockYou or any other "top" application maker - they just got there first. I agree it sucks for Max and Slide, but their application being copied is to be expected.

They probably don't even realize they're stepping on toes half the time. That's the beauty of ignorance. Facebook is so evil. They probably don’t even realize they’re stepping on toes half the time.
