Blocking Facebook application invites

It’s nice and dandy that Facebook became a MySpace clone with its 3rd-party applications, earning Zuckerberg a little more for his pockets, but the volume of application invitations has become akin to the spam I get in my inbox. Presently, Facebook has no function to block these invitations, but some of you begging for some sanity in this mess don’t have to rely on Zuckerberg to get the wheels going. Grab the Greasemonkey extension for Mozilla Firefox and install Ali’s Auto-Block Facebook Apps script. When you visit your Facebook homepage (upon logging in, for example), new invites will be blocked automatically. Enjoy.

Update: Check out this funny video about the excess of Facebook apps. Echos my own opinion.
