Everytime I get some invitation to install a Facebook ad, I usually go along with it. What fucking irks me is that 90% of applications require you to spam (don't give me that "invite" bullshit, it's spam pure and simple) your friends in order to use them. Wanna get a new car in that racing game? Spam your friends. Wanna get a new vehicle avatar in that Starcraft app? Spam!

Fucking stupid. Jetman, iLike, and Boombox DON'T require retarded spam and they're pretty damn popular. Here's a suggestion: make your applications not fucking suck, and you won't have to resort to this spam tactic in order to spread the word.

You actually accept those invites?

Ugh I can't stand having my page crowded with loads and loads of shit. I like to keep it simple. And I only keep the ones I actually use.

Right now the only apps I have installed are:
Photos
Groups
Posted Items
Notes
Events
Marketplace
Courses
Video
Last.fm
Pandora

and 6/10 of those are default anyway.

When I see someone with a crowded page full of apps, I wish they would just go back to myspace.

I just deleted a bunch of my apps I only have the defaults, Graffiti, US Politics, Political Compass, Jetman, Where I've Been, and My Heritage. I also organize them to the side to prevent clutter.

Not that many people post on my Facebook, but I might as well not make their computers attempt suicide when they load my page.

I have the defaults only. You want apps, GTFO and go back to mySpace. Plus I have enough friends to keep me occupy with the default stuff and don't need all that other silly apps to keep me looking busy and having a lot of eFriends.

Uhh... the apps are just nifty little touches. Boombox lets people hear the music I like. My Heritage gives a bit more info about me. Same with Where I've Been and the political compass.

Seriously dude, it's fucking Facebook. Not srs bsns. There IS a line between a normal amount of apps and those people with like 30. The latter need a lesson in not abusing their profiles.

Facebook is just becoming more like mySpace ever since they opened up to developers and more so now when Google or Micro$oft brought them out.
