Well, Nick, since you asked...

I've created one application so far, Evarium (http://www.facebook.com/app..., which launched last week and currently has 1226 users.

Frankly, as both a user and a developer, I wish Facebook would mostly just leave things alone---they mostly work fine for me. Failing that, I wish they'd change things more incrementally. And failing that, I wish they'd give us a coherent, detailed proposal regarding whatever they're going to change, let us comment on it for a definite period, then give us a coherent, detailed revision, etc. I'm no fan of bureaucracy, but I'm unhappy with the vagueness of this profile revision.

facebook has a clutter problems...i would focus the engineering and product group on developing a relevance algorithm to filter apps for users.. installing them is easy creating clutter is easy but both contribute to irrelevance.

facebook needs to be relevant to users.. they need to be think like a search vendor..user experience and discovery = utilty; utility = revenue

there it is facebook - get to work
