Interesting analogy. I think with franchising you are definitely increasing the pie, whereas here the 3rd party apps are increasing the pie now but at some point that effect will diminish.

How does this compare to a franchising model? You own the main product but get partial revenues from other sites who rely on your brand/platform? I would think that this sort of arrangement would only become unattractive if a) the other sites actually cannibalize your own profits, b) the NPV of the marginal revenues you would earn from creating your own version of what the 3rd party is currently doing is greater than the development (and other) costs of building it. Which do you see being the case here?

Independent interlocks. CF Foursquare. It's not dependent on Twitter, however, Twitter makes it stronger by the fact it interlocks and makes the technology inside FourSquare easier to spread and share. Same thing with Bit.Ly. No one is commanding you to use it on Twitter. Twitter could disappear and Bit.Ly could find totally new uses for itself, Twitter does make Bit.Ly a stronger technology by having it show up in so many places and showing what the uses of it are.
