There’s been quite a bit of chatter recently as Mark Zuckerberg released his social platform.  Fred Wilson and Brad Feld have been trading posts on the issues surrounding Facebook’s applications and widgets.  One issue that I’d certainly side with Fred on is about invitation overload.  I’ve gotten over 25 invitations over the past week inviting me to all different Facebook applications.  I’ve accepted only 2 of the invitations and that was even a stretch for me.   Too much clutter and noise.
