]]> Comment on Facebook apps - great for fun but don’t quit your job to start a Facebook app company by Andrew http://www.andrewwallwork.com/blog/2007/10/09/facebook-apps-great-for-fun-but-dont-quit-your-job-to-start-a-facebook-app-company/#comment-3 Andrew Wed, 10 Oct 2007 06:01:36 +0000 http://www.andrewwallwork.com/blog/2007/10/09/facebook-apps-great-for-fun-but-dont-quit-your-job-to-start-a-facebook-app-company/#comment-3 Exactly. While some of the apps do serve marketing purposes (ie, food fight throwing ABC brand cookies or XYZ brand Cola to the end user, it mostly ends up as clutter. I think I have a grand total of 4 applications installed, my profile page is clean enough that people can access my info quickly and easily. It's all about making it easy to serve the core purpose of Facebook, to communicate with friends.

Do we really need "foodfights" and "virtual fishtanks"? Hey! remember how I used to comment on your blog all the time in grade 11 trying to counter what you said? haha
