I like moving the apps away from the core FB content. They were a huge mess on the profile. Developers now have more real estate to use, if not front/center placement. Yeah, it's fun again for me.

The new arrangement has sidelined the 3rd party apps somewhat, which I think is for the better, but which may be the reason for the backlash.

The old domain redirects here so links aren't broken. I'm wondering why Websense blocks the old one. Sounds like an interesting story. Glad you'll be able to follow the fun at work.

I noticed you've changed from oracleappslab.com to theappslab.com. I like the change, because our work websense filter doesn't block the new domain name…
