This year Facebook opened up their APIs to the world and challenged everyone to build custom applications. In this way, users could add what they felt was missing functionality. This leads to some really cool possibilities in rapid application development (RAD), many of which we see in mashup-creating sites such as Microsoft Popfly.
However, the problem I have with this system is best shown in a graphical format (to the right). It seems every time I login to Facebook, I have to decline requests to add applications.
Facebook has introduced a technological "advancement" and now it's up to us to deal with it, like it or not. I really do like the idea but I hope that Facebook will innovate a better management solution than this.
