I'm not sure how Facebook would handle that exactly,<br>but it's a good point. Part of the problem is that Facebook wants to<br>have its cake and eat it too -- it's counting on apps to bring in the<br>bacon, so to some extent it wants as many of them and as many users as<br>possible.mathewiWed, 06 Feb 2008 19:20:01 -0000http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2008/02/06/facebook-weeding-the-app-garden/#comment-129842I'd love to see them tackle the problem of all the applications that lure you in with some carrot on a stick, and then withhold their output until you send the application to 10, 20, or more friends. They bank on your friends giving you grief for not accepting their invitations, and the result is you turning into their own little marketing helper. My solution so far has just been a strict "no applications" policy. I want to recommend an application because it's a good one, not because I'm forced.TomWed, 06 Feb 2008 19:15:25 -0000
