In a lot of ways, smartphones behave like social software. Their value is largely defined by how many third parties are writing apps for them, which is largely defined by how big the market share is.

Social is different. A computing platform with 50% market share (or even 15% market share, as evidenced by the Mac) will still have tons of apps. A social network with 50% market share is something where half of everyone's friends will be on the competing network.
