You must be Mohit's friend before you can comment on this Fave.Very true. The key problem is that many applications use the invitation of friends as a way of unlocking features or getting more 'points' or whatnot. It gets to the point, that if I actually feel compelled to get the reward for inviting friends, I usually send the invites to my acquaintances that I don't like as much, so I don't have to spam my 'real' friends. I don't think inviting friends necessarily needs to be removed, but I think facebook should ban the incentivising of it, and that would largely solve the problem.
