Are Applications Facebook's Version of Spam?

"I now have 56 invites for Poo fights, Vampires, XMe and many more. You know what? I’m starting to get annoyed by these."

I am too. It needs to be easier to block them -- e.g. from the invite itself, rather than clicking through to the application's "about" page and finding the "block" link in the sidebar.

It looks like this will be greatly improved within the next 7 days, as Facebook is making it more difficult to send out those invitations. As you reported earlier, apps are sending invitations without notifying the sender, and that appears to be ending soon, since you'll have to use a standardized form.

I do block them, but they keep morphing into new annoyances! Let's cross our fingers till FB talkes care of it...

They used to be annoying to me, but after I turned off the "Email me notification" option, I'm happy. I don't feel like this is remotely close to the spam MySpace is dealing with, however it is an issue that could be dealt with more efficiently. I do feel that the applications could go through a more strict screening process. That may help the situation a bit.
