When Facebook apps first arrived, my newsfeed was cluttered with app messages (bites from just about every kind of monster) coming mostly from friends and coworkers who in technology. Last time I read my newsfeed though, the updates from those early adopters are mainly that they joined a group or became friends, not apps.

Most of the app activity now is coming from friends outside of technology, or at least aren’t big early adopters. Last week a Facebook app which lets you buy and sell friends took off in a big way with some friends, and I bought a number of friends and coworkers at Six Apart to see what would happen.

No one at Six Apart picked up the game, I expected maybe a few would join in just for some fun, but not after corning the world’s Trott market it didn’t seem to stir any interest at all.

I wonder if this circle of friends will loose interest in apps as well, settling on some useful and favorites, but otherwise begin to ignore the unending stream of Facebook app notifications as just more advertising.
