Facebook Will Prohibit Forced Invitations: Wants Developers to Be Less Myopic About Getting Users

I’m listening to Facebook’s Ben Ling presenting about the opportunities of the Facebook platform right now. He’s saying that Facebook will prohibit the very frustrating forced invitations that have plagued platform users. Ben is calling this tactic by application developers very shortsighted. Facebook wants developers to take a more long-term approach to gaining users and committing to the health of the platform.

Users will soon be able to report applications that force invitations and remove them automatically. This is definitely a step in the right direction for the platform.
