It must be quite frustrating for application developers as apps really have been ‘nerfed’ with the new format – although as a user I’m appreciative of the reduction in the numbers of vampires trying to bite me! I still use all my most useful and fun applications – which add to a rich experience – but I’m glad to see less of the not-so-useful apps.

Perhaps they named it “boxes” in order to discourage the onslaught of “spammie” apps that users receive. By pushing it out of mind, users will use them less and less. But I agree, we don’t want them to go away completely, and this facilitates that effect.

Very true about Facebook approaching the apps issue a better way, but getting a grip on the bigger picture takes a certain kind of seasoned wisdom and basic common sense that obviously the FB decision makers – do not have. )
