I have a facebook account and now a days am facing with lots of spam apps which post to your wall without doing anything. Its really annoying. What do you people think about it. Will facebook ever able to remove these spammers???
ITs because people create these mad apps with the sole intention of spamming, 'When will you die?' etc problem is anyone can make an app
I remember the when will you die App from way before FaceBook though, thats been around for some time now I'm sure. But as to the first question, as long as you are using a media to sell your product or promote your intent then yes there will always be some one there to piggy back for thier own gains.
Spam apps can be avoided if you keep note of a few things. Spam apps can easily be detected and subsequently be avoided. Here's the way of doing it.
Firstly all the applications on facebook are not joined automatically, the facebook users have to allow your personal information to them. Check out for the right ones and remove the unnecessary ones which are annoying you. You also have an option under edit profile settings or privacy for which facebook users can submit a post on your wall. And at the end, you can just remove the person from your friend's list.
