75% Decrease in Facebook App Installs
Yep, this is what is being discussed in one of the forums. If you haven’t been paying attention, fb made a big change to the items that are displayed on your profile box. They are now only showing the top 12 apps or the apps that you specify on your profile page. The profile page has been a great tool to help take your app viral.
You really need to read this forum to get the perspective of fb developers to see how they are cutting the legs out from developers who have helped to make their site so popular. We have started this conversation with one of our past clients so that fb can take notice of what they are doing to the people who are just getting into the apps marketplace.
The point I brought up is fb grew exponentially once they allowed developers to start creating their own apps. Now it seems like they want to gear things toward the mainstream app houses, and leave the little guy out. They need to remember that almost every mainstream app house was once small developers who helped to bring traffic to fb while growing their own apps.
