You're certainly not alone in that opinion; I can understand why FB chooses to have the policies they do, but I can also understand why it rubs some people the wrong way. (And is even a deal-breaker in some cases.)
Frankly, as things have evolved, the arguments for focusing on FB first have weakened: they are getting less and less friendly to independent developers, and some of their policies are a major functional problem for CommYou. (For example, it's explicitly illegal to cache the social network for more than 24 hours, which is probably going to become a real hassle for my users.) And their inability to keep the integration environment stable is turning them into a PITA for me.
So getting LJ integrated in is looking more and more appealing: it looks much easier to work with, both technically and legally...
