The Dangers of Relying on Facebook →
Our app Pixamid is heavily reliant on Facebook - so much so that unless a user logs in with Facebook, the app is almost useless (it will still take photos and save them to the iPhone, but no magic whatsover)…
We went ahead and built our app with this reliance.
This post immediately reminds me of some advice Marco Arment gave during his speech @ Webstock 2011
You don’t need to rely on another service (and you probably shouldn’t)
It’s a great talk with some great advice. If you haven’t watched his speech yet I recommend you do so. It’s on Vimeo.
It seems Pixamid learned this lesson the hard way.
