I'm not sure if this was tongue-in-cheek or not, but Yahoo created its own news site in 1996: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo_News and FB had Zynga's Farmville as well.

I think OP meant that Farmville was built by a different party (Zynga). FB was trying to encourage other businesses to build apps on its platform, not build them itself.
