I think it is overall a good move by Facebook, but this change will negatively impact those apps that are using actually useful actions in a responsible way like "Want", "Review" etc. It's sad to see those apps being lumped in with the offenders.
[EDIT] - It looks like apps that use actions like "Want" etc. are actually going to be ok :) https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/guidelines/ https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/guidelines/
- mccolin 14y agoThe guidelines specifically note that actions such as "want" which correlate to an actual activity are acceptable, provided the user is taking an action to trigger the story. The new policy is against passive custom actions triggered by reading content, etc.
- Gertig 14y agoThis line may hold what you are referring to: "custom actions that automatically publish back to Facebook as a person consumes content" What isn't clear to me is what it means to "automatically publish" to Facebook.
- chrischen 14y agoFurthermore, how can Facebook even tell or is this a TOS sort of thing?
- andybak 14y agoCan you think of a way of structuring the system to differentiate the good guys from the bad guys?
