Facebook, apps and… maps

After reading about all the scrambling among Facebook developers to adjust to the recent changes, we're a little relieved that we're not yet integrated with Facebook here at LiveIntent. TechCrunch had an interesting post yesterday calling Facebook's recent status and notification changes a "D-day for Facebook App Developers". However, I'm inclined to agree with the feeling towards the end of the post that this is actually a good thing for responsible apps. I, for one, have been ignoring notifications for ages because some apps just send so many of them. Allowing me to hide the ones that I ignore anyway means that I'll pay more attention to the good updates. And who can argue with giving users more granular control?

On a completely unrelated note, I also just watched this video about Google's map navigation. Awesome. A little disappointed it's only being released to Droid users at first, but pretty impressed with the technology nonetheless.
