hiding an app with the fb "hide" button only hides it from your feed, it doesnt stop that app getting your private info or sending you invitations to add the app. blocking applications is the best way of halting the tidal wave of these annoying apps, Facebook Purity http://www.fbpurity.com http://www.fbpurity.com adds a "block app" button which makes it a much quicker process to block the applications. ever wonder why facebook dont provide a "block app" button, because the application developers still want to access all your data and be able to send you invitations to add your app, and they and facebook dont want to give you the option because it helps the apps spread virally, and the constant updates/invites etc from apps are one factor that makes fb "sticky" or in other words keeps people on the site refreshing the page, and increasing ad impressions.
