Turning the screws on news feeds makes sense because those are not necessarily user generated... Limiting invites which are user generated is odd. Basically Facebook is telling users (not application) that they can not do something as basic as sharing something with their friends... I mean is that not what social networking is all about? Perhaps instead of limiting what users and can do Facebook should think of improving invitation relevance... one though could be to rank invitation from people who are more relevant in ones life, though I am sure there are other options. I feel that with this one Facebook is really punishing the wrong group... It is silly at best… Turning the screws on news feeds makes sense because those are not necessarily user generated…

Plane Crazy is only letting me invite 5 friends, while Premier Football is letting me invite 20 and Scrabulous says 15. I’m seeing a mixed bag as far as invites go.

I give Facebook 1-2 more years of relevance.

Maybe a push for Social Ads is part of this? (Doubt that's the main driver, though--I imagine they genuinely were trying to improve the experience as app spam speeds up Facebook fatigue). “Without investing in advertising campaigns, new applications will find it increasingly difficult to experience much growth at all.”
