After being subject to more than my fair share of blatantly horrendous Myspace profiles, you could say that I had a bad attitude towards Facebook’s rather “open” Application Development policy.  So I’ve been staying on top of the rather fast-paced Facebook application space and enjoy seeing little loopholes like this (below) being addressed promptly and professionally.

I’m beginning to understand why Myspace is on Facebook’s coattails.

New report link for forced invites

Tonight we rolled out a new link that shows up on the multi-friend selector that allows a user to report that an application is forcing them to invite friends. For applications that follow our policy against invite looping, this should not be an issue.This link brings up a dialog that allows the user to remove the application or just report the experience and continue using the application. The link will show up next to the skip button when a user ends up at the request page twice in a short period or after clicking skip.
