As 2009 begins, we thought it might be interesting to look back at the issues we were blogging about in 2008.

On the top of our minds in ‘08? Application spam.

It’s interesting to reflect on now. Application spam has basically been quashed by Facebook’s policies restricting notifications, invites, and other obtrusive methods.

But there’s also a secondary result.

Virality has been quashed as well.

It will be interesting to reflect again next year and see how things have changed- for better or for worse- in 2009.
