The problem with facebook apps.

Now I’m not usually against facebook applications, (many of you may know about my recent Farmville addiction), but when they mimic Facebook’s functionality WORD FOR WORD, there is something very wrong. I signed into facebook just moments before writing this, and here is what I saw.

To any normal human being, that would look like someone has commented on a photo you have uploaded, right? Wrong. This is actually an application called “Photo Comments”.

They’ve mimicked facebooks notification word for word, icon for icon, making the normal person, (like me) click it and go to their app without hesitation. I highly doubt I’m the first to do so either. The app resides here, and requires you to allow some access so it can (and I’m guessing here,) spam your friends with the notifications you see above and I don’t really want to do that surprisingly, so I can’t give you the details. I think this is just so wrong. Any comments?
