I agree that its a good thing to eliminate poor performing apps.

But, does the current method take into account as users micro networks grow overtime, the ties that bind become weaker? Thus conversion will naturally decline.

I think this is a great change. Let’s keep the quality high and work in the best interests of both ourselves as developers and the FB users out there.
Great movie, FB!

Are you a developer, John? This is not about saying bye bye to Facebook. This is about keeping USERS happier — I’m sick of being spammed to death with notifications and app invitations. Admittedly, most apps don’t force users to invite, but friends feel compelled to “spam”.

Application developers have access to a HUGE base of users on Facebook. If their app is actually any good, it will spread virally anyway, without the need to force invitations, which only alienates users.
