The reason I left MySpace was mostly because of all the spam I would receive. “Hot girls” were always trying to add me as a friend to promote their porn site. Luckily I know that girls like that arn’t into guys like me, so I wasn’t tricked like so many other people were. The same thing is happening with facebook. Friends want to send me drinks, say something on my superwall, turn me into a zombie. What the fuck? This is just as bad as the spam I was getting on myspace! One time I actually caved in and added one of the Facebook apps just to see what one of my old co-workers wrote on my “Superwall.” When I added it, it wanted to send an invite to each one of my friends by default. This to me is worm-like activity….as in computer virus-like activity.
There needs to be an option like “Mark Application as Spam” so people can get rid of these troublesome applications.

I agree with you. Facebook is doing more and more things wrong. Have you tried ranting at http://www.sosickofyou.com ? It is a great place to get it off your chest. Personally I love reading what others have to say there.
