Maybe Facebook applications weren't spammy enough for you already? Don't lose sleep over it. GigaOm's Om Malik reports that third-party developers will soon be able to let search engines index their applications' pages. What does that mean? A whole lot more useless links and ugly clutter, and even more people inviting you to become a zombie. It's also a reason to give enthusiasts of Google's OpenSocial platform pause. There's less reason to build an app for OpenSocial if Google's own search results will help developers find new users.
