There's another way to interpret what Slide is saying:

We got caught with our hands in the cookie jar, doing all the things we're not supposed to do, and got a boot shoved sideways up our rectal cavity by FB who suddenly have seemed to have grown something called a spine.

Since we don't like it, we're not going to bother building new crappy apps for their platform, and will grudgingly make our existing apps conform to the TOS that every other developer has to adhere to, after all, those juicy users are getting us some real money, even though we pretend not to make any.

I prefer that explanation really, although it's most likely wishful thinking.

Thats so true, thats how I read it.

In the grownup world, which sometimes FB forget its in, assuming this story and associated announcement is true, FACEBOOK MUST TAKE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AS AN OUT-N-OUT INSULT.  Slide got nowhere in MySpace, came here, milked it for its worth, and is now saying.... "you know what I'm not making more apps on your platform". No matter how much more work they're looking to do to upgrade their apps (hey no big deal, ALL of us do that for our own apps anyways), saying this is as UNGRATEFUL an INGRATE as Slide can be.

INGRATE. Max Levchin, maybe business school would have done you some good.

Definitely wishful thinking. Would be great if it actually happened though.

I know

It's the whole FB-with-spine bit that makes it pure fantasy

In all reality though, from the sound of it it does sound like Slide might be seeing trouble up ahead and is busy moving itself out of the way before the excrement hits the rotating air movement device.

thats awesome   anybody running any apps on myspace?

top friends gone?? facebook blocked or something else??

http://apps.facebook.com/topeight/ is showing Human Pets ad, which i think was the canvas url of top friends..

Hmm, weird, try this URL now...it gives a Facebook error message.

Wow, Facebook finally took decisive action against Slide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Better late than never, shame they let them ruin things for the rest of us first. Next please delete Spamwall.

And me being facebook friend of Arrington, he just added "Top Friends Substitute" app, which is hacked canvas url that redirects to Human Pets

who added what ?

Either way they were kicked out.  I finally have more faith in the platform.  Seems there is a reason to come back to it!

nice to see Patrick Shyu's photo nice situated in there.  Didn't know he joined Slide or sold to them their app.

wonder if Yahoo or any of you know about the mis-doings of the Shyu brothers or not. Or maybe Slide embraces those ideals.
