Voted down because the article holds facebook (the platform) responsible for the crap put out by application developers. The fact is that Facebook has done a decent job of providing a general api that developers can plug into. There has to be some data sharing between an application and profile information, but not necessarily. There are a few apps that don't require sharing of data. So, basically, this article doesn't appropriately portion out the blame.
