Have Facebook Apps Peaked?

A lot of discussion has been going on in the Facebook developer forum about the possibility of Facebook applications hitting their peak. Much of this was in response to a blog post written up by Alec Saunders. Alec argues that thanks to the spammy tactics used by many application developers, users have become resistent to forced invites and application requests. One Facebook group, “No, I will NOT invite 20 friends just to add your application,” has attracted over 63,000 users.
