Surprise, There Are A Lot Of Facebook Apps And Most Aren’t Very Productive I’m surprised at the interest this little chart caused: The analysis of the post was spot on, but a lot of the reactions were far off (techmeme). Now the meme is back (albeit on track this time). I think the platform’s unfairly getting a bad rap with many writers overly criticizing the platform. Boomtown and AlleyInsider criticized the platform as trivial, essentially saying apps were trivial and that they earn no money. While many apps are trivial, what did they expect? A mammography app that would detect cancer? People log on to social networks in their free time, not as part of work.
