Image via WikipediaZynga has many ways of advertising, but the most abundant and annoying way on Facebook is of course app spam. Zynga is one of, if not, the worst offender of app spam on facebook.They have altogether lost my respect as a casual gaming company. However thanks to last night's update that is a thing of the past.
You now have the option to delete posts from your news feed and profile wall. Wait it gets better, you can do even more than just manually delete posts. If you delete a post on your news feed you have the option to hide all posts from that source. If you delete an application's post from your wall you have the option not to allow the application to post without your consent. Once you have done that next time you delete that app's post you will have the option to delete it from your applications. Finally, the next time you delete their annoying spam you are able to blacklist that application from your profile. You are even able to report any post as spam.
I am so happy that facebook finally did something about spam. Rejoice in the new and improved facebook. These capabilities are long overdue I wish they had added them sooner.
