Large Applications Get Mistakenly Blocked

Yesterday, a number of applications fell victim to a random bug that unfairly marked a number of applications as spam. This bug affected applications ranging from Flixster’s “Movies” application which has approximately 360,000 active daily users to iDescribe which as approximately 21,000 daily users. The bottom line is that a significant number of users were effected by this bug. This is just one example of many bugs that the platform has been forced to resolve over the past 5 months.

Future platforms (including MySpace’s and competing social networks) will be forced to cope with similar issues.
