Facebook Cuts Back On Open Graph Actions, Automated Wall Spam

Facebook giveth and Facebook taketh. When the company first talked about the Open Graph at the last f8 developer conference in San Francisco last year, there was the promise of a whole slew of apps that would have many types of actions feeding into the ticker and news feed. The company demo-ed social cooking apps and running apps (like what you see to the right). But after more than a year, Facebook is cutting back on the types of actions that are allowed (presumably due to spam or messy use cases). Now apps will have to use only authorized actions like 'Listen,' 'Read,' 'Watch,' 'Like,' or 'Follow.'
