One person we hired for a facebook application was absolutely horrendous - but I still am amazed at how he often came to our office in the middle of the work-day (long lunch???) to do milestone meetings.

Its not any different for most software, except the icons/gift business has its own unique dynamics like - artificially created scarcity (limited edition icons for example) that drives up prices, and there aren't a lot of support costs to icons (vs. enterprise software).

I mean, once it's developed, of course. Even continuing development is funded by "support" contracts. If you want to ignore the costs associated with developing the platform, marketing, and running Facebook, then yeah, those icons are %100 margin. But most 010101010 things are, if you factor in only the costs of replication as costs. Um, does any software not have practically the same profit margins? I mean, once it’s developed, of course.

I can send my friend a 3rd party application 'booze', or 'vampire bite' or whatever. The problem with digital goods is that the MC is zero, and when there is competition the price will also go to zero. yes, but there is also competition.
