Sponsors: Valleywag sponsors get the crown

After a 15-11 loss in an ultimate frisbee match against a team of scrappy Facebookers, disc-flinging Googlers swore revenge. But the social network left the search engine, again, unable to find victory, dishing out another 15-12 tromping earlier this week. “All that free food weighing them down,” snipes a Facebook-employed spectator of the match. Other Facebookers are more modest, crediting the Googlers for strongly competitive play — though some believe the Googlers may have brought on ringers who don’t actually work for the company. Word is the Googlers want another rematch. What, are they trying to go for 3 out of 5? Have they seen what happened to Orkut? (Photo courtesy of the Ultimate Players Association)

Facebook may be the hottest development platform on the Web, but it has yet to answer a very important question: How are companies making money off Food Fight and SuperPoke? After it was revealed that the “Where I’ve Been” app wasn’t sold for $3 million, one has to wonder if these developers are gaining anything more than exposure. Well, a tipster claims that one Facebook app, Free Daily $5,000 Poker Tourney, is making money. Naturally. PurePlay’s poker application requires users to download a proprietary poker client, which serves advertisements to anyone who wants to partake in its free, cash-prize tournaments. And it makes some cash off people who pay to remove ads and receive a crappy newsletter. There’s a lesson for all you Facebook developers — make “applications” that are just giant advertisements for your company’s real moneymaker.
