I had someone send me an invitation to add yet another ‘spam’ application today! My Online Friends requires new users to send out invitations to friends before they can use it!
Here are some of the reviews of the application:
Jenny Said: SPAM app – Do not add
Ignored, blocked, and listed on “The List: An A-Z of Rotten Apple(t)s” .
For more info on fighting SPAM apps, join the group “No, I will NOT invite 20 friends just to add your application!”
Bob Said: SPAM your friends today!
Trust your application to be good enough for me to promote on my own!
Don’t ask me to spam any friends in order to use it or see my results! I don’t really understand why people fan applications that force you to spam your friends or standing!!
Paul Said: Crapplications!
Congratulations. Your lame spam promoting site has been added to the group ‘Crapplications and Badads’ for forcing invites.
I Have not and will not load this site.
Other face bookers take note. Lets help each other out by commenting and always look at comments before you add applications.
My Opinion
Well said everyone. Crapplications is the word for Facebook applications that force users to invite friends before they can use it.
Before adding any application, follow Paul’s advice and read the comments first.
Important Notice: This application was not developed by Facebook, which simply provides links to applications as a courtesy.
The company makes no representations regarding the applications or any information related to them.
Any questions regarding an application should be directed to the developer.
I do not have any links with Facebook other than as a member of the site, and make no claim to speak on that Company’s behalf!
The Last Word: The image at the beginning of this post is the one on the application profile – I added the text.
I must say that the whole thing looks really unprofessional from start to finish!
One would expect that if they wanted to make an impression, that the developers could have at least used a decent image.
