I agree. The FB and OpenSocial application platforms open up tremendous opportunities for social asynchronous gaming (think Scrabulous)
Quoted: Making the gameplay asynchronous fits better with the “continuous partial attention” world that we increasingly live in. The reason I never became a hard core gamer is that the serial monogamy requirements (one game at a time, total dedication, long periods of gameplay coordinated with others) doesn’t mesh well with my lifestyle. Scrabulous is a better match for the “play a little bit when you have some time, at various points throughout the day” life that many of us lead.

Quoted: As a developer, your goal is to produce templatized feeds that are highly aggregative. Avoid template variables that are very specific or unique to any given user; those pieces of information should instead appear within the body_general parameter.

Blog post from Facebook confirming the new News Feed behavior.
Quoted: As part of our ongoing improvements to News Feed, we recently made it possible for users to see stories from applications they have not added.
...
Use feed.publishTemplatizedAction and register your story templates with us. Only stories with registered templates will be visible to users who have not added your application. (Note: We recommend using feed.publishTemplatizedAction even if you are not registering the template because feed.publishActionOfUser will eventually be deprecated.)ShareViewed: 5 Times - mohit | Shared With: Everyone - Feb 14 2008 | facebook, financials, social networking, social software

I first found the 'is' constraint annoying, and then I kinda found it fun. Anyways, this change makes sense nonetheless.
Quoted: A group to petition Facebook to drop the "is" gained over 163,000 members -- much more than the majority of Facebook groups -- and today is proclaiming victory based on the platform update. It was one of many groups crusading against the verb.

Quoted: Perhaps Google’s longer-term strategy, though, is to weaken dedicated social networks like MySpace (NWS) and Facebook not by animating a Frankenstein-style competitor but by spreading social features everywhere, sucking out the social life in drips and drops. If every application and web site is social, Facebook becomes just another place to socialize online, not the one that rules them all.
