I've seen these show up on my facebook feed as well. I'm curious, did they cut some sort of biz-dev deal with facebook to keep the proliferation of spam going? It seems like app spam has all but dropped off of facebook recently, I'm curious how socialcam is able to make it through the filter.
Edit: This is anecdotal of course.
- untog 14y agoI very much doubt that any deal was cut. It just seems that Facebook's algorithms are constantly adjusted.
- idoh 14y agoAs far as I know they don't have any special deals. They use the open graph "watch" action, and when you install the app you give it permission to post this action (it is the publish_actions permission). What you are seeing on the feed are aggregations of that action. They also show up in the ticker. As an aside, I do know that Pinterest is allowed to do somethings that other apps are not. I've heard that there are some feature whitelists, and it looks like Pinterest was whitelisted for at least one of them (the ability to send a message to more than one recipient).
