Inside Facebook

A few months ago, Facebook implemented a user-feedback driven system for limiting the volume of invitations and notifications applications are allowed to send on a per user per day basis. While this system is not perfect, it has been pretty effective at eliminating the worst abusers from the system.

Yesterday, the hi5 Platform team announced that it is implementing user-feedback driven notification quotas as well. Actually, they’ve already been implementing notification quotas manually, but this will make the process automated for everyone. Developers should expect to see their quotas in the Developer Console soon.
